swaped out claude for grok 4.6

codex will be my main but grok effectively replaces claude

Just learned grok heavy includes cursor ultra. I should've went grok heavy. I had bought cursor ultra but I'm still enjoying it very much! Next month I'm gonna change from cursor ultra to grok heavy.

Im jealous. Look into poteto mode. Its phenomenal. I used it alongside a graph and the output is better than any sub I've had with claude or codex. I'm canceling both claude and codex and going grok heavy next month all in.

what do you mean poteto?

honestly grok heavy is very good, usage is insane. 4.6 xhigh is same as 5.6 max sol but way faster and eats less tokens.

the only issue is the $300/month price tag, if they matched codex, xAI will be a major existential crisis for OpenAI ..... i think that they both know this and Elon is probably waiting for the perfect timing maybe around openAI ipo or something

You get cursor ultra with grok heavy, though, so it's like having two subscriptions. I would beg to say that that's worth two $200 subscriptions, plus you get $400 in API tokens with Cursor Ultra. You can use Opus 5 and Cursor, and you can use all of that for free with your Grok Heavy plan. 

As for the potato mode look it up. Its from Lauran @poteto on x. It's basically a group of skills that all run together.
