At @yupp_ai we add new models as soon as they drop! @sundarpichai tweeted about Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite yesterday. Soon after, it was available to our global users. Less than 24h later we’ve gathered 10K+ global user preferences! And it looks great… 🧵.

It’s been 36 hours since Grok 4 launched and we have an early verdict based on 6K+ preferences of @yupp_ai users globally on real use cases. ā€¼ļø Grok 4 is worse than other leading models: OpenAI o3, Claude Opus 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. Grok 4 is liked even less than Grok 3. 🧵
