Anupam Mittal Says Grok Is Faster, Cheaper Than Claude
Anupam Mittal said he built a computer system using artificial intelligence.
He said he had never learned programming before doing this.
He created it in a few hours over a weekend.
The system has eight AI helpers that he calls employees.
He first used a tool called Claude.
He later chose Grok because he said it worked faster and cost less.
Mittal said the system made good content and could be used by several people.
He believes AI will change how people work very quickly.
Anupam Mittal said he built an automated AI content system over a weekend without programming experience.
He said the system now includes eight AI “employees” with names such as Manish, Chandan and Lyndon.
Mittal initially used Anthropic’s Claude before switching to Grok after comparing the tools.
He claimed Grok was faster and cost one-tenth as much as Claude.
Mittal described the resulting system as effective and multi-user, while saying AI will rapidly change work.
