- 🍭 Grok 4 Fast: Costco Hot Dog AI 🌭
Good morning. A pigeon just stared at me like it knew my Screen Time.
I put down my phone out of respect…
Let’s dig in.

🌭 Grok 4 Fast Is The Costco Hot Dog Of Frontier AI
The Bite: Most frontier models live in the same gated community: genius IQ, sky-high rent.
Grok 4 Fast is the weirdo outlier.
Still sharp, but dirt cheap.
xAI says it matches Grok 4 on reasoning, uses ~40% fewer “thinking” tokens, and slashes cost by ~98%.
API rates are $0.20/M input, $0.50/M output, with a 2M-token context window baked in.
Even free Grok users get access. Basically, a $1.50 hot dog where you expected steakhouse prices.
Snacks:
Price anomaly: Smart AND ~25–47× cheaper than peers.
API rates: $0.20/M in, $0.50/M out (+$0.05 cached).
Long context: 2M tokens = entire docs or codebases.
One brain: Fast replies + deep reasoning, no swaps.
Tool use: Stronger search + built-in browsing.
Why it bites: For solo builders, this is the first frontier model you can actually afford to beat up in testing.
Run bigger evals, try out agent swarms, or just stop rationing prompts like wartime sugar.
Quick caveat: benchmarks do not automatically imply “gud model.”
But at these prices, finding out for yourself is finally practical.
CodeRabbit
🐇 Prompt → Production-Ready Code
Too often, agents write code that almost works, leaving developers debugging instead of shipping. Warp changes that.
#1 coding agent: Tops benchmarks, delivering more accurate code out of the box.
Tight feedback loop: Built-in code review and editing lets devs quickly spot issues, hand-edit, or reprompt.
1-2 hours saved per day with Warp: All thanks to Warp's 97% diff acceptance rate.
Get time back:
→ use code SNACKPROMPT for a month of Warp Pro for just $1.

OpenAI <> Nvidia
🧙♂️ Wizard + Dragon: OpenAI’s Spellbook, NVIDIA’s Dragon
The Bite: Picture a D&D session with your nerd friends:
OpenAI is the wizard clutching the spellbook.
NVIDIA is the fire-breathing dragon with unlimited mana.
Together, they just signed a letter of intent for the biggest AI compute build anyone’s ever put on paper.
NVIDIA says it’ll throw in up to $100B as each gigawatt comes online, with the first 1 GW hitting in late 2026.
Quick caveat: it’s technically just a letter of intent.
But let’s be real.
When a wizard and dragon fist-bump, you don’t bet against the quest.
Snacks:
10 GW plan: Millions of GPUs powering OpenAI’s next chapter
$100B budget: NVIDIA invests as capacity comes online
2026 kickoff: First 1 GW deploys in H2 ’26
Deal details: OpenAI buys chips, NVIDIA takes shares
Starter pack: ~$10B lands once a final deal is signed
Why it Bites: I don’t think this is something that will lower prices, API costs, etc...
It’s about raising the ceiling.
Builders should expect fatter models and longer contexts, not a cheaper playground.
Unironically, it’s reminding me of yesterday’s “3-day workweek” story:
more efficiency doesn’t mean longer weekends; it just means we’ll cram more in.
OpenAI + NVIDIA basically locked in that future.
Whether you’re ready or not.
