@jonmacofficial and others are running Grok (xHigh reasoning) as their primary coder, calling it fast, clean, and less prone to lecturing than Claude — great for 1:1 funnel clones and native-style hooks. Kieran and others stayed on Claude Max as the safer long-term bet, while @jasonakatiff runs a mixed fleet: 5 Claude Max, 1 Codex Max, 1 Grok Super Heavy. Consensus: multi-agent review (Grok codes, Sol/Codex reviews) beats letting one model rip.
@jonmacofficial shared his full Orca/OMP flow with RULES.md constraints — 240-char default chat cap, no preamble, decisions routed through the ask tool, and mandatory ponytail-auditor on plans/PRs. @leewardbound is running Terra as his OMP default, arguing lighter models plus better upfront instruction beats heavy planning with Sol. /advisor in OMP got flagged as a killer feature.
@thewildzeno mapped the AI engineering progression: prompt → context → harness → loops → graph. Graph engineering means isolated agents in defined flows with governance and boundary contracts, letting you right-size intelligence, speed, and cost per node. He's building a software factory now; Jason Katiff calls his version 'workflows,' and both agree it's overkill for vibe coding but the definitive path for long-term systems.
Kieran's team is switching from Veo (which has 'been printing winning ads since late last year') to Omni for UGC — 8-second Veo clips stitched together with careful scripting have kept them above the AI slop line. @startropics reported Seedance won for their joint pain offer using 3-sec hooks mashed with real footage. Face detection bypasses via the Reddit sketch method also got shared.
@scalingfrog is using Grok to review GPT Sol output by comparing goal to actual result — Jason's earlier point that multi-agent review beats single-model runs is landing. @jrizzolo is testing Luna Max for basic testing and Sol for bigger issues to avoid endless review loops. @jaypozo dropped UltraCode entirely for Sol-vs-Sol, and Fable-plans/Grok-codes/Sol-reviews emerged as a popular triangle.
Key Takeaways
- Grok on xHigh reasoning is emerging as a legit main coder — fast, clean, and less preachy than Claude, especially for funnel clones and native hooks.
- Multi-agent code review (Grok codes → Sol/Codex reviews) beats single-model runs; reviewer loops can be tamed by right-sizing the reviewer model.
- OMP's edge: model-agnostic mid-session swaps with LSPs fixing code in the background; enforce 240-char chat caps and RULES.md to avoid essay outputs.
- The engineering progression is prompt → context → harness → loops → graph — graph engineering is the endgame for cost/intelligence optimization per node.
- Meta Managed Accounts (via work.meta.com) offer business-only personal profiles as a potential fix for banned ad accounts and farming issues.
