Hands-on with Grok in Cursor: Fast and Agentic, but Lacks Creativity
andrew_n_carr · x · 2026-08-11
A developer shared their hands-on experience using the Grok model within the Cursor coding assistant. Grok excels at well-scoped machine learning tasks and monitoring data pipelines, impressing the user with its execution speed and agentic capabilities, while feeling distinctly different from other models.
However, the developer also noted that Grok currently lacks creativity, meaning users need to have a clear idea of what they want and provide well-defined prompts.
