Grok Bot ships controls over agents rather than controls by agents: approval gates, a chief-of-staff structure, and escalation learning stand in for a settings page. Here is how that oversight model works, and the control questions xAI has not answered publicly.

Grok Bot ships four primitives that compose - a text thread, its own cloud computer, a chief of staff over specialist Bots, and show-it-once routines - and deliberately nothing else. That restraint is the product: you message a coworker instead of configuring an automation platform.

Grok Bot's routines flip the automation playbook: do the job once while a Bot follows along, correct it in plain language, then let the Bot own the schedule. Here is how the mechanic works, where it fits, and how approval gates keep it safe.

xAI shipped Grok 4.6 on August 12, 2026: it matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the AA Intelligence Index (61), beats it on CursorBench 3.2, and keeps Grok 4.5's $2/$6 per million token pricing. Available in Cursor and Grok Build today, and in OpenCode as opencode/grok-4.6.

xAI released Grok Imagine Image 2.0 on August 7 as the new Quality Mode on grok.com and mobile, ranked second worldwide on both text-to-image and image-editing leaderboards. A 2.0 preview build is already callable through Vercel's AI Gateway with the AI SDK, before xAI's own API access goes live.

A companion guide to the Grok 4.5 video: xAI's most intelligent model with a 500K context window, function calling, structured outputs, and a build-mode agent workflow for developers.

SpaceX is buying Cursor for $60 billion. Here is what changes for developers, what stays the same, and why xAI, Colossus, and Grok Build matter for the future of AI coding tools.

xAI's Grok 4.5 ships at $2/$6 per million tokens with 80 TPS speeds, a 500k context window, and benchmark results that put it in the Opus and GPT 5.5 tier. What actually shipped, how the pricing compares, and when it makes sense over Claude, GPT, or Gemini.

xAI launched Grok 4.5, trained on trillions of Cursor interaction tokens. At $2/M input pricing, it undercuts Claude and GPT while benchmarking near Opus 4.7 level.

Grok Build is xAI's agentic CLI with 8 parallel subagents, a plan-first workflow, and Arena Mode for competing outputs. Installation, pricing, real commands, and how it compares to Claude Code and Codex.

xAI's Grok Code Fast 1 arrives with a specific mission: eliminate the friction in agentic coding workflows. While models like GPT-5, Claude 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro deliver impressive benchmark scores...

xAI has launched Grok 4, claiming the title of the world's most powerful AI model. With a $300/month Super Grok tier, saturated AMI benchmarks, and a coding model on the horizon, this is xAI's bigge...

xAI launched Grok 3 with 200,000 GPUs, outperforming GPT-4o, Sonnet 3.5, and DeepSeek R1 on reasoning benchmarks. Here is what the hardware, the benchmarks, and the new features actually mean for developers.
