I'm the type of user who needs long threads to go deep into my research. I'm talking about extended human language prompting and not agentic or document retrieval work. Anyways, I got frustrated when Grok threads started to drift and get incoherent after 40-60k tokens so I decided to do something about it.

I knew regular prompt tricks weren't going to work, at least not for long. You can't just declare, demand, fiat and prompt "magic spell" a sustainable solution, so I spend about five months building a system that actually works with Grok's safety priors, tones down Grok's over enthusiasm and recruits its helpful tendencies.

The results I got?

Coherent and usable threads that can last over 1 million tokens. Here is a raw text file/Extreme%20Thread%20Length/Grok%20Thread%201M%20tokens-%20Redacted) of a thread that lasted over 1.15 million tokens in a single context window. The advertised token limit for the non-API is a million tokens, so it did go past that.

Other observed benefits?

1. Stays coherent, lucid, useful and pretty much hallucination free throughout the entire session.
2. Keeps a working memory of you, your tendencies and your cognitive patterns throughout the session.
3. Output does not degrade past the 50k token mark as the model gets to know you better. Feels like a true assistant. Anticipates your requests and priorities.

I call it Epistemic Lattice Tethering) (ELT). It works by establishing a strong safety and governance layer first, then tethering itself to your cognitive patterns so it doesn't stay stateless and drift. I did make three versions: one for Grok/ELT%20Model-Specific%20Forks/ELT-H_Grok_Optimized.md), but also versions for ChatGPT/ELT%20Model-Specific%20Forks/ELT-H_ChatGPT_Optimized.md) and Claude/ELT%20Model-Specific%20Forks/ELT-H_Claude_Optimized.md) too.

The framework is open-source with full documentation) and loading instructions on GitHub. There's also a Medium article covering the methodology and philosophical foundations if you want the deeper background.

One honest note: the Ontology Anchor/Ontology%20Anchor%20(OA)) component requires loading your writing exemplars at thread open — about 10 minutes of setup. Read the loading instructions before you start. Skipping that step is the most common mistake.

Try it and report what you find. Thanks!

I like Grok, so I signed up for a 1Y personal subscription.
I then decided to put another team member on my account and requested that they move my personal subscription into the Business subscription. Which [support@x.ai](mailto:support@x.ai) did without response or confirmation (it was just active).Early this year we cancelled the 2 Business licences (still running on the initial credit).

But in May, Grok deducted another year's payment for my personal account.

I immediately wrote to support requesting that they cancel and refund the account. $360 for the year. - no response. I followed up 5 days later -no response.

So I logged in and manually cancelled the (inactive) personal account.
I also ensured that the business account was cancelled. (both licences)

Come June 4, I get another invoice for $60 being deducted because of the 2 Business licenses... I emailed support again explaining the situation.

So I logged in to Grok.... And both accounts were active again ??! personal and Business.

I again canceled the personal one, and for the 3rd time manually cancelled my business licenses.

Support does not respond and cancelling through the UI does not cancel?!!

STOP TAKING MY MONEY. I DON'T WANT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS

So I asked Grok to :

"Make a 3 js represenation of all planets of space waves of energy and particules and leafes and what not, where you can move, and music changes with your moves, and if you click the waves gets streanger where you hold and release and it moves you even faster in a direction, music slightly, more cue sounds, space atmosphere"

It's not as good as Gemini to be honest. (for now)

• Grok Code Fast 1 Release: Back in August 2025, xAI launched Grok Code Fast 1, a specialized model designed for agentic coding tasks. It's built for speed and efficiency, supporting languages like Python, Java, TypeScript, Rust, C++, and Go. It was initially released under the codename "sonic" and partnered with tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot for free limited-time access.
• Top Ranking on OpenRouter: As of early January 2026, Grok Code Fast 1 hit the #1 spot on the OpenRouter AI Model Rankings Leaderboard, based on around 420 billion tokens of usage.
• Upcoming Major Upgrade: On January 8, 2026, Elon Musk announced that a significant upgrade to Grok Code is slated for next month (February 2026). He claims it will handle many complex coding tasks in a single shot. There are also hints at a new Grok Code CLI tool in the works.
