xAI releases early beta of Grok Build CLI
xAI released an early beta of Grok Build, an agentic CLI for coding, building apps, and automating workflows. The beta is available exclusively to SuperGrok Heavy subscribers at x.ai/cli. xAI will use subscriber feedback during the beta phase to refine the underlying model and product experience.
#65Elon Musk@ELONMUSKTry this early Grok Build (anything) beta and let us know what to improve.
Much appreciated!

#65Elon Musk@ELONMUSKGrok Build
Jason Ginsberg@JasonBudGrok Build is a fully interactive CLI, which means you can actually use your mouse to click. No flickers. Especially useful as I find myself running 5+ agents at a time and jumping between plans.
#65Elon Musk@ELONMUSKGo in with expectations that Grok Build is still beta, but improving almost every day
@beffjezos Our recently completed Grok V9 1.5T run is looking great and that is before Cursor data is added in supplemental training
Beff (e/acc)@beffjezosImpressions so far: Grok Build interface is actually really nice. Now as soon as xAI has a SOTA model, it could very well become competitive with Codex / Claude Code overnight
The version numbers are a little confusing and deserve some explanation.
Internally, we are working on version 9 of our new foundation model, which is 1.5T params. This is substantially better in every way than v8: data curation, training recipe, size, etc. It is also optimized to run on a Blackwells.
The public facing v4.2 is based on foundation model v8, trained on Hoppers, with significant shortfalls in training data quality, comprehensiveness and proportionality. It is also only 0.5T in size.
The difference between Grok foundation model 8 and 9 is gigantic.

#379Bill Yuchen Lin@BILLYUCHENLINNo great coding agents can be built without critical feedback from engineers with high taste. We’re incredibly fortunate to have received it from @yunta_tsai and so many talented folks at @Tesla
> «The difference between Grok foundation model 8 and 9 is gigantic.» Finally. Grok. Imagine.

@zdhnarsil Congrats!
Dinghuai Zhang 张鼎怀@zdhnarsilBeen working on the coding model behind this for a while. Still needs huge improvement, but let's see!
#711Beff (e/acc)@BEFFJEZOSIt's time to build.
Will tinker with this over the weekend and report back.

@elonmusk Sounds like a Grok 4.5 or Grok 5 then as it's a significant upgrade.
Excited to try it out!

@elonmusk ok, will give it a try

#711Beff (e/acc)@BEFFJEZOSGrok 4.5 (Grok 5?) is going to be a banger
