As a business school professor, I think they both did fine but had gaps (o3 did a more sophisticated projection, Grok did a better pivot in the face of competition). Can't penalize Grok for no image creation, but it is generally is less tool-using & "agentic" than o3 currently.

Grok AI Model Shows Interesting Self-Dialogue Behavior
By

Wow, this is some… interesting? behavior from Grok? Not necessarily bad! I just haven't seen a model talk to itself while *not* in a thinking step like this.

Why Small Language Models Excel for Agentic AI Applications
By
–
Here’s why SLMs are a better choice for agentic AI: • High task accuracy on focused, repetitive tasks
• Lower memory usage and faster inference
• Huge cost savings over time
• Easy to slot into a hybrid setup with LLMs for general reasoning -

Small Language Models: Faster, Cheaper Alternatives for Agent Pipelines
By
–
Instead of relying on large, general-purpose LLMs, consider using Small Language Models (SLMs) and integrating them into your agent pipeline. SLMs are faster, cheaper, and in many cases, just as effective for tool-like and repetitive tasks.

Effective Multi-Agent Communication Systems Architecture

You need to handle agents’ communications effectively. That’s the hardest part. It’s actually not that hard to do, I built these type of systems many times when I was working at Anthropic.

Multi-Agent Architecture for Improved Model Performance
By
–
By the way, you can basically make the "Grok heavy" version of any model by having multiple agents running tools in parallel, then checking notes together and deciding which one is the best answer. I may release an open source project for that.
