xAI has reportedly released Grok Build, a terminal-based coding agent available in beta to SuperGrok and X Premium+ subscribers. The tool is described as using a plan-first workflow for software tasks and as being able to delegate work to as many as eight specialized subagents in isolated Git worktrees. The report says xAI open-sourced the command-line interface and paired it with a dedicated model through its API.
