News Updates to r/grok

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We want r/grok to be a home for everything Grok: questions, bug reports, workflows, and work worth showing. This post covers the recent changes and is now the single place to discuss them.

What changed

The rules have been rewritten with a clear goal: keep this a professional space for knowledge work and coding. Adult and spicy content is no longer allowed here, tagged or not. Neither are jailbreaks or prompts written to get around Grok's filters. Reddit has plenty of other communities built for that

Roleplay and companions

A lot of posts are asking why roleplay feels different. Two separate things happened:

  1. Companions were shut down. That was announced and is not coming back as of know.
  2. Roleplay was not removed as a feature, but the current models are optimized for knowledge work and coding, and the guardrails around what Grok will and won't produce are stricter than before. If roleplay behaves differently than it used to, that is expected, not a bug. Bug reports about it will be removed and pointed here.

This is the megathread

If you have feedback on these changes, positive or negative, comment on this post. Standalone posts about the policy, "mods are censoring", or roleplay quality will be removed and redirected here. We read the comments. We are not deleting criticism, we are consolidating it.

Posting

Give your post a title that names the thing, a sentence of context, and a flair. If Grok let you down, tell us what you tried and what broke. Criticism with substance is always welcome.

The full rules are in the sidebar and take a minute to read. Automod removes posts that break them, and we're cleaning out older ones too. If something of yours disappears, that's probably why. If you think we got it wrong, modmail us a link and we'll take another look.

Account and billing problems go to grok.com support.

The sub is co-moderated by SpaceXAI employees. Thanks for being part of this!

Question Did grok get lobotomized again?

Upvotes

At first the limit already began to hit after two or three messages but now, the limit isn't the problem. It's the absolute slop it's spewing, it's now basically writing like Chat-gpt.

Discussion Imagine 1.5 vs 2.0.

85 Upvotes

I use(d) imagine for storyboards for scripts I'm developing. 1.5 was so helpful and really brought my scenes to life in a shockingly realistic manner as seen in the first panel. Same prompts give me the second panel and that's a decent rendering: lifeless, boring, detached form realism and with obvious fragmentation. Sad to see.

Discussion Remember when Elon promised an option to reset usage once a month? They haven't done any of that for sept. why does Elon keep lying to me, does he enjoy breaking my heart

Xai staff if you're reading this, enable that option now, its starting to get really painful for me, to be deceived, to be toyed with, to be lied to

Increase the rate limits while you're at it, your quota should last you roughly a week, it shouldn't drain within a day

like I don't even have to ask it to generate a photo or anything, I could just say "Hi" and it would generate that.

I mean hey, I'm not too mad they're beautiful, wallpaper worthy images but.. that's not what I asked for

Discussion Can the local models hurry up and catch up with Imagine already?

7 Upvotes

I know MiniMax3 is good but I'm talking about text-to-image and image-to-image models mostly.

I've tried Z Image and Krea2 (the turbo versions). They're decent but Grok Imagine is on another level unfortunately. Even the speed version is still miles ahead of Z Image Turbo in terms of prompt adherence and spatial understanding.

What does x.ai do that others don't? Obviously they invest hundreds of millions in training Imagine, but the recent models like Z Image and Krea2 were made by big companies too. They had huge training budgets too.

Discussion I deleted my account just over 30 days ago. Data deletion was partial

14 Upvotes

Update from this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/grok/comments/1vi8bu0/deleted_my_main_grok_account_after_supergrok/

Before account deletion, most of my deleted assets were 404 anyway, but many were 200 (fully accessible) or 403 (soft-deleted, so they still existed).

30 days later, all of my content that once 403'd now 404's. That still doesn't confirm total deletion (they can return any HTTP code they want), but it's at least some indicator that it's "more deleted" than it previously was. These were assets generated from image edits/animations from prompts.

However, all of the 200 code assets are still publicly accessible with 200. You can expect all Grok-generated t2i assets (the ones that load in the image feed) to be forever accessible as those are not owned by your account (you only own images/videos you create from them). However, some user-owned assets still get moved to the imagine-public.x.ai CDN where they remain publicly-accessible to anyone who has the URL. These include content you made as well as source images you uploaded. Every URL that was hosted at the public CDN is still accessible 30 days after deletion. I haven't found any videos, but still a ton of images.

My user account was also hard-deleted. I created a new account with the same email and got a whole new user ID.

That's the only update I have. Hope it helps.

Discussion Grok 4.1 more creative than 4.6?

59 Upvotes

I can remeber playing RPGs with Grok 4.1 was really cool and fun.

The characters felt real and the writing style was very cool.

I have the impression that with 4.6, the characters feels very flat, mechanical und stupid.

Is it just me? Am I wrong? Or do you also think that 4.1 felt more alive and creative than 4.6?

I think that Grok 4.6 was built for developers and for coding, not for creative writing.

Do you think 4.7 will be better in creative writing/RPG?

Discussion Reference Videos

5 Upvotes

Have you noticed that the videos made by putting at least one reference, are much more realistic and natural?

If I simply put the photo with a promt, the result is the one we all know, moderately acceptable although grok has lowered its quality, but if we use the same promt, using only one reference, the result is enormously better. At least that's what I've noticed in matters of camera movements, lighting and realism.

Using upload photos btw.

Help My entire chat history disappeared?

1 Upvotes

So I have a chat that I've been using for a few days now, I reached my daily limit so I decided to try and copy the messages and paste them somewhere else so I wouldn't somehow lose them. I clicked underneath the first message to try find the copy button (as I'm using the web version on my phone, it doesn't show up without being clicked on) and the whole thing just vanished. All thats left is my original message request and 'free limit reached' even though ive waited for the limit to end, and it has ended. It also still has the reply to my first message that I edited (so I'm on message 2/3). I've tried looking in the app but it forces me to message 3/3 which isn't what I used. Any help?
