| Grok Build sucks compare to composer 2.5.
Just use compose 2.5 and you'll have basically unlimited usage on the 40$ plan. |

| Every time I use Composer 2.5 I have to spend a bunch of time cleaning up its mistakes. It is unusable compared to GPT 5.4 or 5.5. My time is more valuable that I will use a model that doesn’t f** up my code base. |

| ▲ | subhobroto 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think we need to be explicit about the domains we're applying Composer 2.5 to in these discussions. I mentioned here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48766275) how poorly it handles my specific use cases. My coworkers in DevOps and frontend UI swear by its cost-effectiveness, whereas I strongly prefer the reasoning capabilities of Opus 4.8 and Fable 5. Composer 2.5 seems to be SOTA for Helm charts and React/Vue, but, for my usecases it absolutely struggles spectacularly when tasked with rigid body dynamics or kinematic logic. |

| It is hard to evaluate the model performance of Composer 2.5 when Cursor's harness is so awful compared to the others on the market. |

| ▲ | sergiotapia 17 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Not my experience at all. I've been using Cursor hardcore for about two weeks now and Composer 2.5 and it's wonderful. Now with Grok 4.5 I'm quite excited about the possibilities. | |

| ▲ | seunosewa an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not true. The only issue is cost of frontier models. |

| Composer 2.5 is so underrated IMO. I built a really feature rich application, insanely complicated, close to 200k LOC since it came out and for the most part it ran like a champ. Only used CLaude a couple times to get it unstuck. 8 hours a day and I'm paying about 30 a month. |

Really hard to know if 200K LOC is good or bad, at the surface it sounds like too much, but I don't know what the application was either. | | |
| ▲ | DoesntMatter22 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It’s a fantastic signal processing / engineering app. There are 5 major players and this app isn’t quite as good but it’s in the ballpark. I’d day when I release early next nonth this will be the biggest fully featured vibe coded app I’m aware of. | | |

| Suppose eventually that gravy train will disappear, might as well use it then. |
