Grok

15.05.26. xAI launched its coding agent Grok Build



Elon Musk's xAI has launched its own AI coding agent, Grok Build, which will compete with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Currently, it is only available to subscribers of the most expensive SuperGrok Heavy plan ($300 per month). The agent can handle complex tasks that require planning and sequential execution of stages and parallel operation of sub-agents, and supports existing AGENTS.md files, plugins, hooks, skills, and MCP servers. xAI recently partnered with the developers of the most popular AI IDE, Cursor, and there were even rumors of an upcoming acquisition of the company. Therefore, Grok will likely soon become the primary agent in Cursor.


2025. Chatbot Grok learned to generate PDF files



xAI has released an updated web version of its chatbot, Grok. It can now generate not only text but also full PDF files. This allows users to create academic documents, reports, presentation texts, and more. For example, you can ask Grok to create a "school report on rhinoceroses." The chatbot will generate a PDF file with a pre-formatted title page, page numbers, text, images, graphs, and tables. Before generating the file, you can attach a file with the required information, which Grok will use when creating the new file.


2025. Elon Musk unveiled the Grok 3 chatbot. It's supposedly better than ChatGPT and DeepSeek



Last week, Elon Musk tried to buy OpenAI for a record sum, and this week, his AI startup xAI released its new flagship AI model, Grok 3, which, according to Musk, is better than ChatGPT. Why spend a hundred billion on ChatGPT if you have a better model? To be fair, it's worth mentioning that an early version of Grok 3, codenamed "Chocolate," achieved the highest score in Chatbot Arena, a platform where users compare responses from different models. Also, according to xAI, Grok-3 Reasoning outperformed ChatGPT o3-mini-high in a number of popular benchmarks, including AIME 2025 Performance. However, as the DeepSeek example has shown, all these ratings and benchmarks are not the best way to evaluate the quality of an AI model.


2023. Elon Musk's company xAI launched its LLM - Grok



Elon Musk's company xAI has unveiled Grok, its own language model. The developers say Grok is an artificial intelligence inspired by Musk's favorite book, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Remember, there was a supercomputer built to answer the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. And it calculated the answer: 42. As for the Earth-based Grok, it is said to be able to answer almost any question and, what's much more difficult, even suggest which questions to ask. "It will also answer the thorny questions that most other AI systems reject," xAI adds. Grok can be accessed with a Premium+ subscription on the X platform (Twitter).
