X sentiment check: Grok and Claude riding high while OpenAI and Gemini face user backlash
mark_k · x · 2026-10-21
AI watcher markk maps current user sentiment on X: Grok Bot is overwhelmingly positive with rapid user growth; Claude (Opus 5.5) has a strong reputation as the best coding model; OpenAI sentiment is turning negative over usage limits, disappointing coding performance, and persistent Codex bugs; Gemini remains surprisingly negative even after Gemini 4 Argon.
He stresses this is a mood read, not a capability ranking — and that one breakthrough or one botched update can flip the entire narrative overnight.
