    1. It seems many if not most in this sub prefers Composer over Grok
    2. Grok is too bad.
    3. Grok 4.7 feels like a huge token sink with barely any noticeable improvement over 4.6. Anyone else?

    1. It seems many if not most in this sub prefers Composer over Grok
    2. Like actually where is Composer 3, the entire point of Cursor joining SpaceX is that they get access to unfathomable amount of SpaceX Compute, so what's the excuse here ?
    3. Why asking Composer to "write a handoff file" before starting a new chat never works

    1. I upgraded from $20 plan to $60 plan today and my Other Models pool was immediately at 100% usage and I only hardly used Grok today...anyone else experiencing this?
    2. CURSOR TEAM PLEASE HELP - Cursor support keeps telling me my 100% full usage pool is from grok bot two months in a row when a fresh month starts off filled at 100%
    3. Why is the "Other Models" usage is being used so much with so little time?
