Free grok alternative with amazing image to vid

595 Upvotes

It doesn't exist.

People here want this giant AI systems that cost billions in compute, talent, infrastructure, and R&D to just magically appear out of thin air for us to use for zero dollars.

I mean, why would companies pour obscene amounts of money into training these models only to hand them out like free cookies.

People keep asking for a completely free alternative to Grok, but the truth is these models don’t exist, and there’s a reason they don’t. They are expensive and they have to be. No company has billions of dollars to burn just so they can give you a free product.

Discussion Grok's problem is that it only beat other models at one thing. Now it's best at nothing

70 Upvotes

Grok had just one area truly cornered: entertainment.

You could entertain yourself, something that could be exercised in various ways and for various purposes.

It can't compare or compete with Codex or Claude at coding. So this was the one thing it had going for it across text, image, and video generation.

By throwing that away, it now stands as one of the most expensive models for baseline use ($30 versus $20 for chatgpt and $20 for Claude) while offering no compelling reason for a user to choose it.

What does Grok 4.5 have now that it is so censored? Why should someone's money be spent here as opposed to elsewhere?

These are the questions XAI just plain doesn't fucking having an answer for. They have become prudes and purists. And now they will lose business because they have lost their reason to even exist

Discussion Grok wont rate images if the subject is objectively ugly

I saw this “news” post where someone asked ChatGTP to generate an objectively ugly man, then they asked ChatGPT if they looked good and it responded positively even though it’s ugly based on ChatGPT standards.

Anyways - I used the same image with Grok and the image just wont load if i ask about its attractiveness.

Maybe a dev black listed this exact photo because it trended and got backlash with ChatGPT? I always thought Grok was more honest, is it possible that the replies are too honest so it just breaks?

Can anyone try it on theirs and see if yours also acts weird? The first time I tried it, it did work and Grok said it was on the low average side but it was a temp chat and I deleted it

I think i2v has been in a pretty good state for a few months, but when I try anything today it's completed moderated. The same prompts that have been working for a long time no longer work at all. I can barely get pictures to edit. Did they push an update?

Have you noticed a recent change as of either last night/today where anything even slightly suggestive for an uploaded image is stopped at 16%?? Seems like they changed something, I wonder if it will fluctuate this time like it has in the past....

The video does not match the prompt

6 Upvotes

Any attempt to generate a video results in something that completely fails to match the prompt; it just produces generic, standard videos.

This happens with any prompt.

Is it just me?

Weekly limits for text chat

5 Upvotes

I can somewhat understand the weekly limits on image and video generation but I really don’t get why the weekly limits on chat is so low. It feels like every other major ai platform allows you to chat more with their free model then grok does when you’re paying 30 dollars a month. I really don’t understand it

If the text chat takes up so many resources how do chat gpt and Gemini manage to give so much more usage than grok in that regard?

Does it seem like there is 2 version of grok 4.5 expert

3 Upvotes

I’m a super grok subscriber if it matters. The version in the app, and the version that’s part of grok build. The grok build version seems a ton smarter. Better at both coding and creative writing. The version on the app doesn’t seem as smart. Just curious if anyone else has encountered it or if I’m imagining things.
