The thread argues that Grok regressed on a simple but error-prone task: enumerating long lists accurately.
- It reportedly included MLS when it should not have.
- Even after that was removed, it still miscounted teams in Baltimore and Las Vegas.
- The core criticism is that the model kept producing defensive commentary instead of checking its answer carefully.
The reply claims older, “dumber” models handled similar long-list consumer queries better a year ago.
