Make sure to try out grok-code-fast-1
Claude-4 is incredible! I’ll keep recommending it as the #1 model because the reasoning and depth it brings to coding projects is hard to beat.
The challenge is that I’m building 9 projects at once right now. When you are coding daily at that scale, even the best models start to add up in cost.
So I went hunting for a lighter option I could lean on in Cursor. I tried Gemini-2.5-Pro. I tried GPT-5. Both solid.
Then I tested grok-code-fast-1.
Here is what I found:
- Way faster than Grok-4 (they were not kidding with “fast” in the name)
- Free right now in Cursor
- For raw speed and responsiveness, I have been enjoying it more than Gemini-2.5-Pro and GPT-5
If you are coding on a budget or just tired of waiting around for long completions, this is worth trying.
I will keep sharing how it holds up as I push it across my projects.
If you try out the model, I'd love to hear what you think about it!
