Is uncensored a selling point? What do people use uncensored Grok for (like, real use cases) that they can't or won't use other LLMs for? Literally the only thing I can think of is generating bad porn of unconsenting people.

Some have mentioned legal work. OpenAI and Anhropic models would refuse to work on cases where something immoral happened.

I don't really have a use for a model that thinks "how many people are in this photo?" is a political question.

I mean absolutely read any thread about Fabel and it's fill with people complaining about how it instantly downgrades or refuses if anything has CVE in the name.

Other then that there is the whole alignment issue. Models that are 'nerfed' in just about any manner tend to exhibit reduced performance is seemingly unrelated areas.

That said Grok doesn't appear to be close enough to the frontier for that to matter. Maybe if they catch up it will.
