Grok 4.6: Fable-level intelligence, Sonnet speed, fraction of cost, no complex skills needed
vikvang1 · x · 2026-08-14
vikvang1 tweets about Grok 4.6: it gives 'Fable intelligence, Sonnet speed (Tok/s) at just a fraction of the cost.' He doesn't need complex skills anymore; the model 'just knows.' He believes we won't need thick harnesses with fat skills; all behavior and instructions will be RL'd into the model's weights (or a self-improving router). He's becoming more 'Bitter-lesson' pilled.
