xAI launched Grok Build, its first AI coding agent and CLI tool, on May 15, 2026. The early beta targets professional software engineers for complex coding tasks and includes a plan mode for reviewing and approving changes before execution. Grok Build competes with Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI offerings while requiring a SuperGrok Heavy subscription at $300 per month. xAI signed a partnership with Cursor to rebuild coding capabilities on the Colossus supercomputer. Elon Musk stated in March 2026 that xAI is being rebuilt from the foundations up after co-founder departures.
