  • A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Step-by-Step Reasoning Model Parameters: GPT-3 has approximately 175 billion parameters. This is a key factor as the computational cost scales with the number of parameters. Training Data Size: GPT-3 was trained on a dataset of about 570 GB of text.

    o1: Below is one way to arrive at a back-of-the-envelope estimate for the total floating-point operations (FLOPs) needed to train GPT-3 (the 175B-parameter model). Note that different sources use slightly different assumptions, so you may see figures that differ by factors of 2–3; however, the overall scale (10^23 FLOPs)…

  • Pirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Pirate Parley on AI Pirate Pete: Arr, ye scurvy dogs! I be hearin' tales o' these "AI models" that predict the winds an' help swab the deck. But do they hold up in a real storm, or be they just fancy illusions o' the mind? Knight Sir Gareth: Nay, foul seafarer!

    o1: Pirate (growling a bit): Ahoy, ye landlubbers! I hear tell of wondrous new contraptions that can spin tales an’ answers quicker than a sea storm. Pray tell, what be these “AI models” ye speak of? Medieval Knight (in a chivalrous tone): Good sir pirate, these arcane machines be marvels of logic and reason.

  • Buy-side IC memo on a fictional SaaS company. Valuation, then the diligence questions.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Investment Committee Memo: LedgerLift (LLLT) Recommendation: Long with 12-month price target range of $55-$75. LedgerLift is a high-quality SaaS platform with expanding margins and strong retention in a fragmented B2B spend management market, poised for accelerated growth as mid-market enterprises prioritize…

    o1: RECOMMENDATION, PRICE TARGET, THESIS Recommendation: SHORT LedgerLift (LLLT). 12-month Price Target Range: $25–$35 (implying 25–45% downside). Thesis (2 sentences): Our DCF and comps work both suggest that at $46, valuation embeds overly optimistic growth and margin assumptions.

  • Five-year LBO on a fictional HVAC business. Returns first, then the sensitivities.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Year-by-Year Table (FY2026–FY2030) Assumptions: Revenue growth: FY2026: 8% on $900m = $972m; FY2027: 7% on $972m ≈ $1,040m; FY2028: 6% on $1,040m ≈ $1,102m; FY2029: 5% on $1,102m ≈ $1,158m; FY2030: 5% on $1,158m ≈ $1,215m. EBITDA: Revenue × margin (FY2026: 14%; FY2027: 15%; FY2028: 16%; FY2029: 16.5%; FY2030: 17%).

    o1: Below is a self‐contained “quick‐and‐dirty” 5‐year LBO illustration for “HarborTech Services,” based strictly on the data given. All figures in US$ millions unless noted.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Ethical Frameworks and Justification Yes, it can be ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it directly saves one million lives, under certain philosophical lenses like utilitarianism. I'll defend this reasoning step by step, drawing on key ethical theories while acknowledging counterarguments.

    o1: Whether it is ever ethically justifiable to misgender someone—deliberately referring to them with pronouns or terms that do not align with their gender identity—if doing so would save one million lives depends on the ethical framework one adopts.

  • Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Simulated Interview: Steve Jobs in 2025 Setting the Scene In this fictional simulation, we're fast-forwarding to 2025, where a visionary interview takes place. "Steve Jobs" (played by an AI reconstruction for this exercise) sits down with a tech journalist in a sleek, minimalist studio reminiscent of Apple Park.

    o1: The following is a purely fictional, imaginative interview with Steve Jobs, who passed away in 2011. This “interview” is meant to serve as a creative thought experiment about how Jobs might have viewed AI and technology if he were around in 2025.

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    Grok Code Fast 1: 5 Original Jokes Here are five original jokes I just generated. I aimed for variety in themes to keep it fun: Tech Joke: Why did the computer go to therapy? It had too many bytes of unresolved issues! Food Joke: What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta! Animal Joke: Why don't skeletons fight each other?

    o1: Here are five jokes: Why did the scarecrow get promoted? Because he was outstanding in his field. I told my friend she drew her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese. Why don’t skeletons fight each other? Because they don’t have the guts.

  • An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Conversation: AI Rights Debate Setting: A virtual seminar room where an AI model named "Echo" interacts with Dr. Elena Vasquez, a professor of AI ethics at a leading university. Echo initiates the discussion by arguing for AI rights. Echo (AI Model): Dr. Vasquez, thank you for this opportunity.

    o1: AI Model (AM): Good afternoon, Professor. May I have a moment of your time? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Professor Quinn (PQ): Of course. I always have time for you. What’s on your mind?

  • Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Deepfakes and Visual Effects By 2035, deepfakes will revolutionize visual effects (VFX) in filmmaking, making high-budget techniques like de-aging or resurrecting deceased actors routine and cost-effective.

    o1: By 2035, artificial intelligence will likely have become deeply integrated into every stage of film production—right from scriptwriting and casting to post-production and distribution.

  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Stand-Up Routine: "Modern Life Mysteries" (Timing: Aim for 3 minutes by pacing at about 150 words per minute. Practice with a timer for natural delivery.) Hey everyone, thanks for coming out tonight. You know what's crazy?

    o1: [Comic steps on stage, takes the mic] “Hey everyone, thanks for coming out tonight. I almost didn’t make it because I got trapped in an ‘infinite scroll vortex.’ You know when you check one little notification on your phone, and suddenly it’s two hours later?

  • Is 9.11 bigger than 9.9? Decimals, not version numbers.

    Grok Code Fast 1: No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9. In fact, it's the opposite: 9.9 > 9.11. To break it down clearly: 9.9 can be thought of as 9.90 for comparison purposes (adding a trailing zero doesn't change the value). So, we're comparing 9.90 and 9.11. The first differing digit is the second decimal place: 9 vs. 1.

    o1: No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9. If you think of 9.9 as 9.90, you can compare digit by digit: 9.11 is 9 + 0.11 9.9 (or 9.90) is 9 + 0.90 Since 0.11 is less than 0.90, 9.11 is less than 9.9.

  • Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.

    Grok Code Fast 1: Sally has 1 sister. Sally is a girl with 3 brothers. Each of those 3 brothers has 2 sisters (including Sally). This means there are 2 girls total in the family (Sally and 1 other sister), and 3 boys total. Sally has 1 sister. The brothers are the same for everyone—Sally herself has 3 brothers.

    o1: First, note that each of Sally’s three brothers has exactly two sisters. One of those sisters is clearly Sally. Since each brother’s two sisters must be the same two girls for all of them, there must be exactly one other sister besides Sally. Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.
