Why is Grok so surprisingly decent? Does lack of mainstream liberal-left censorship (replaced with Musky censorship) result in some sort of a weird performance boost?

Is it decent, or does it game the tests? Really, would love to know..
There's nothing weird about a model performing better when it is built to more closely relate to reality instead of an ideologically tainted version of such. I don't know how much Musk & Co. interfere with the fine tuning of the models but it is clear that this interference is far less heavy-handed than what the other actors do to their models.
How are the other ones tainted?
Yes, actually.
Fewer fingers on the scale means the LLM gets to actually do its thing. GPT-4 with zero filtering was scary smart according to the red teams that were testing it. The version the public got had a lobe tied behind it's back.
Having only Grok 3 to compare, and toying around with GPT-5... GPT-5 is pretty good.
