You really have to check out https://grok.com

I went really hard with ChatGPT, from its growing pains to its
evolution.  It's rough in a lot of ways.

Grok, on the other hand, is a marvel I wasn't expecting this early in
the evolution of this type of AI.  For example, I didn't just get
programming help for a language I knew nothing about,  It found and
read its online documentation to help me.

I dumped a bunch of code into text files, uploaded them, asked it to
analyze everything, and it found the structure of code linking it all
together and gave me a comprehensive breakdown of what it understood,
and made a list of suggestions.  A really good list.

According to it, it has no functional memory limit as-such.  It does
not suffer from ChatGPT's amnesia or hallucinations.  Functionally it's
just got an incredible memory and you ought to keep it on-topic
per-chat to make the best out of it.

It can search the net.  I mean really really search it.

You can tell it to take its time thinking for longer, or searching
harder.  What a godsend to drop complex code and just say "I like this
code, but study it and keep it for reference later".

Try it!

Hell, copy your whole chat log from ChatGPT into a text file, tell Grok
you did that and to untangle and understand your session.
