GPT 5.6 vs Grok 4.5: Which to Choose?
theseawoof · reddit · 2026-07-17
A user is comparing GPT 5.6, Grok 4.5, and Gemini to find the best model for "reading manuals, checking hardware/software documentation, and cross-verification."
Their experience:
- Gemini is more prone to hallucinations in these tasks, often confusing content with objects
- GPT has been generally smooth but sometimes acts overly "opinionated"
- Grok hasn't been tested enough, feeling a bit dull
They want to know which of the two newer models is stronger in accuracy, thoroughness, and cross-checking capabilities, even if it means being slower.
