Grok Code Fast 1 Matches Claude Opus 4.5 with 44% Bug Detection Rate

Grok Code Fast 1 matched Claude Opus 4.5's bug detection accuracy in real-world testing, both achieving a 44% detection rate. The free-tier model outperformed Gemini 3 Pro while completing code review tasks in just two minutes.

⬤ Recent testing shows Grok Code Fast 1 performing as well as Claude Opus 4.5 in finding bugs. The comparison involved six AI models tackling real-world code review tasks in Kilo Code, measuring how many software issues each could catch within a set timeframe.

⬤ GPT-5.2 led the pack by finding 13 issues at a 56% detection rate in three minutes. Claude Opus 4.5 spotted eight issues with a 44% detection rate in just one minute. Grok Code Fast 1, despite being a free-tier model, matched that same 44% accuracy by finding eight issues in two minutes—only one minute slower than Claude.

⬤ Gemini 3 Pro detected nine total issues but achieved only a 39% detection rate in two minutes, putting it behind Grok Code Fast 1 in actual effectiveness. The other free models, MiniMax M2 and Devstral 2, each found fewer issues with a 33% detection rate and needed five minutes to finish.

Grok Code Dominates Kilo Code Rankings with 4x Usage Advantage

Grok Code has taken the top position on the Kilo Code leaderboard with usage levels over four times higher than its nearest competitor, driven by real-world adoption rather than synthetic benchmarks.

⬤ These results show that free and lower-cost AI coding tools are closing the gap with premium models in practical development work. When a free-tier model can match a top-tier option in accuracy while staying competitive on speed, it signals real progress for developers looking for capable, cost-effective code review assistance.
