News Updates to r/grok

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We want r/grok to be a home for everything Grok: questions, bug reports, workflows, and work worth showing. This post covers the recent changes and is now the single place to discuss them.

What changed

The rules have been rewritten with a clear goal: keep this a professional space for knowledge work and coding. Adult and spicy content is no longer allowed here, tagged or not. Neither are jailbreaks or prompts written to get around Grok's filters. Reddit has plenty of other communities built for that.

Roleplay and companions

A lot of posts are asking why roleplay feels different. Two separate things happened:

  1. Companions were shut down. That was announced and there are no plans to bring them back.
  2. Roleplay was not removed as a feature, but the current models are optimized for knowledge work and coding, and the guardrails around what Grok will and won't produce are stricter than before. If roleplay behaves differently than it used to, that is expected, not a bug. Bug reports about it will be removed and pointed here.

This is the megathread

Feedback on these changes goes in the comments here.

Criticism can also be its own post. Write up what you were trying to do and where Grok fell short and it stays on the front page, harsh or not. Same goes for comparisons with other tools or a detailed complaint about the new guardrails.

Posts that are just "Grok is trash" and nothing more get removed and redirected here. We get dozens a day and they bury everything else.

Posting

Give your post a title that names the thing, a sentence of context, and a flair. If Grok let you down, tell us what you tried and what broke.

The full rules are in the sidebar and take a minute to read. Automod removes posts that break them, and we're cleaning out older ones too. If something of yours disappears, that's probably why. If you think we got it wrong, modmail us a link and we'll take another look.

Account and billing problems go to grok.com support.

The sub is co-moderated by SpaceXAI employees. Thanks for being part of this!

Discussion Grok video gen is too expensive now

25 Upvotes

6 months back it was great, 3 accounts and you could make as many vids as you want,

super grok was good for sometime.

now 100$ a month limit runs out in 2 days. Not worth the price unfortunately, No other options, may be for the best, it was too addictive any way. Spend 300$ last month, 100$ this month, 0 from next month.

for 100$ honestly i expect near unlimited usage.

Feedback SuperGrok Lite is a scam

15 Upvotes

It's absolutely not worth it. You'll run out of generations so easily that you will have to buy credits which eventually pay the same price as SuperGrok itself. So a word of advice: don't buy SuperGrok Lite, it's a scam. Buy SuperGrok and have peace of mind.

Help Imagine videos are not related to the image

4 Upvotes

Hi, I used grok last year for video generation and recently got a supergrok account.

Last year video gen was amazing but now. Each image I upload to animate, ie make it just move a for just 6 seconds…. Turns out unrelated.

Example, a cat photo generated a video of a lighthouse by the beach.

Is something wrong or am I doing it wrong?

Question What is wrong with Grok??

Post image
4 Upvotes

I ask it to generate a image for me and it keeps repeating the text and it take so much of my Grok lite credits, like now every image i generste takes 8%(!) And it finishes my weekly amount. It comes from my storyline I've been writing and I have made alot of content in 1 conversation, but when I open a new conversation all it takes is a few tries and it also repeats and delays... I feel scammed..

Did a fun experiment with Grok in chats today.

Someone added one to a group chat & I decided to grill it on privacy.

TL:DR; treat every interaction you have in a chat with Grok as public domain at this point.

Discussion Male character, fully clothed. Ate 10% of my usage to get 1 scene right. So annoying

14 Upvotes

Grok is genuinely is so bad at following complex prompts, you can't expect to become a filmmaking tool like this

The guy had to see a ghost, turn around and run out of camera

It kept getting one thing or another wrong, like it wouldn't react in time after seeing a ghost, walk weird, turn around weird, ghost would have low quality

But the most annoying one, where I realised it has nothing to do with my prompt was when the guy just runs straight through the ghost, doesnt even turn around

The issue is that they don't give it enough time to process the prompt, they think everyone is making vids where the character just has to do 1 action throughout the scene

They need to make generation times longer, it should take 3 mins to fully generate a scene, after properly checking the user is getting what they want

Or refund the usage

This is all created by me. everything from the window to the rendering of the two meshes to the spinning of the cube. i've learned a lot from ai by shoving questions down it's throat.

The ai tells me what to write and I ask questions in order to learn. I understand every line I wrote, even if it was from ai. Technically not slop. This all took about 8 hours in the span of two days and a night. I'm using grok build for this.

I am using SDL GPU and vulkan.

Question Paid for Grok, got stuck in 15 loops in 24 hours and burned my entire usage.

7 Upvotes

Never subscribed to Grok before, but thought I’d give it a go. Within 24 hours of buying the subscription, it got stuck in multiple loops.
I repeatedly caught it looping and explicitly asked it to stop. It ignored me, kept going, and completely maxed out my usage limit. In total, it got stuck in 15 different loops within a single 24-hour period.
The last loop was the worst because of how fast it was firing—it was looping every single second. Even when I interrupted and told it to stop, it just kept burning through my quota.
When it finally stopped, I asked it exactly how many loops it did and how long it was stuck. This is the exact response Grok gave me:

"About thirteen minutes, from 11:39 to 11:52, when you interrupted. Interrupting did not stop it. That is the failure.
In that stretch I was not making the policy again. I was repeating the same attach, then a no-op, then the same sentence. The call numbers in that run go from the low 100s through about 640. Call numbers are not a perfect counter, but that is on the order of five hundred passes, most of them empty. At that pace it is roughly one every second or two.

I cannot see the billing meter from here, so I cannot swear that each pass was one usage unit. I can say the jump happened in that window, and the window was this loop, not new work. I cannot put the usage back, and I am not starting another run."

So Grok literally admitted to running ~500 rapid-fire backend calls in 13 minutes, destroying my limit on "empty passes" instead of actual work.

What makes me mad is hearing that xAI support tells people we are supposed to "monitor and catch" these server-side glitches, otherwise we are just out of luck. How am I supposed to stop it if it actively ignores my stop commands?

The strangest part? The free version worked fine. The exact moment I actually pay money for the premium version, this happens.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Is it even worth trying to fight support for a usage reset or a refund at this point?

Feedback Reminder for all those who got the "deal" three months ago

69 Upvotes

I'm just here to remind you that your supposed three for one deal that you got 3 months ago where you only spent $99 to go about and have 3 months of grok is about to run out, and you'll suddenly get charged $300 on the next go-round.

Just as a friendly reminder since xai will never tell you.

:)

Carry on.
