The latest AI news and updates of xAI — the AI company behind Grok, a frontier model family spanning reasoning, voice, and image generation, plus the Grok API. Covering xAI's latest product updates, launches, and company news from the past 90 days.
xAI16h agoxAI launched the Grok Build Plugin Marketplace in beta, enabling terminal-based installation of plugins from MongoDB, Vercel, Sentry, Cloudflare, and Chrome DevTools. The marketplace bundles skills, agents, and MCP servers into packages verified against pinned commit SHAs. Developers can browse the catalog via the Grok Build CLI or submit their own plugins through the open GitHub repository.
xAI16h agoeToro integrated SpaceXAI models and real-time data from X into its AI agent, Tori. This update allows Tori to analyze market sentiment and track live signals as they shift. The integration provides eToro users with on-demand market intelligence directly within their investing workflow.
xAIJun 10SpaceXAI partnered with Gopuff to launch Go, a personalized AI shopping assistant integrated into the Gopuff app. Powered by Grok's text, voice, and image models, Go anticipates user needs and generates visual shopping feeds. This collaboration combines frontier AI with Gopuff's extensive demand intelligence to create a predictive e-commerce experience.
xAIJun 4Gopuff has partnered with SpaceXAI to launch Go, a predictive shopping assistant built on multimodal Grok models that builds carts and generates shoppable visual feeds. The system combines 13 years of delivery data with real-time cultural signals to automate the decision-making process before checkout.
xAIJun 1xAI announced that Cursor's Composer 2.5 model is now available inside Grok Build. The integration brings a specialized coding model to X Premium+ and SuperGrok subscribers, optimized for the sustained reasoning that long-running autonomous engineering tasks demand.
xAIMay 29xAI launched its specialized grok-build-0.1 model in public beta via API, priced at $1 per million input tokens and $2 per million output tokens. Optimized for the low-latency loops required by autonomous agents, the model delivers over 100 tokens per second and includes native support for the Model Context Protocol.
xAIMay 28xAI released Grok Build v0.2.7, introducing a shared terminal backend and scheduler to improve coordination between parallel subagents. The update also optimizes multimodal processing by converting file-based images into vision tokens and brings the CLI to feature parity for Windows users.
xAIMay 27xAI enabled subscription portability for Kilo Code, allowing X Premium+ and SuperGrok users to use Grok models directly in the IDE. By connecting accounts via OAuth, developers can access the specialized grok-build-0.1 model for autonomous coding tasks without managing separate API keys. This move positions Grok as a portable intelligence layer for open-source agentic tools across VS Code and JetBrains environments.
xAIMay 25xAI's Grok Build coding agent is now available in beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium+ subscribers, moving beyond its initial restricted release. The terminal-based tool now supports parallel subagents, structured planning workflows, and native image and video generation directly from the command line.
xAIMay 21xAI enabled subscription portability for OpenCode, allowing X Premium and SuperGrok users to power the open-source agent via OAuth sign-in. This move allows developers to use the specialized Grok Build model for codebase intelligence without incurring per-token API costs.
xAIMay 15Grok subscribers can now use their existing accounts to power the open-source Hermes Agent via OAuth sign-in. This move allows users to run persistent, self-improving agents with Grok 4.3 reasoning and multimodal capabilities without incurring per-token API costs.
xAIMay 15xAI released an early beta of Grok Build, a terminal-based agentic CLI for software engineering and workflow automation. The tool moves beyond simple chat by supporting parallel subagents and native protocols like MCP to handle complex, multi-file development tasks autonomously.
xAIMay 7xAI released its high-fidelity image generation model to developers, enabling 2K resolution and advanced brand consistency through its public API. The update moves the technology behind Grok's 300 million generated images into a professional tier focused on photorealistic product visualization and marketing assets.
xAIMay 2xAI released a voice cloning suite that allows developers to create digital vocal twins in under two minutes for use across its audio APIs. By combining custom identities with existing real-time reasoning models, teams can now deploy branded voice agents that maintain a consistent personality across 28 languages.
xAIApr 24xAI released grok-voice-think-fast-1.0, a flagship voice model optimized for multi-step workflows and real-time reasoning without added latency. The model claims the top spot on the Tau Voice Bench by handling interruptions and noisy environments more effectively than competing frontier models.
xAIApr 18xAI released standalone Speech to Text and Text to Speech APIs that power Grok Voice and Tesla vehicles. The new endpoints offer high-accuracy transcription across 25 languages and expressive voice generation with granular emotional controls.
xAIApr 3xAI introduced a new Quality mode for Grok Imagine that prioritizes visual detail and accurate text rendering over generation speed. This update addresses common AI image generation failures by improving the model's understanding of physics, brand references, and complex object relationships.
