  • A Grok-native rival to Claude Code and Codex

    Grok Build hit 1.0 on Aug 7, leaving beta. Install with one curl line (needs SuperGrok or X Premium Plus); it ships plan-before-execute mode, parallel subagents on git worktrees, headless `-p` scripting, and reads your existing AGENTS.md, MCP servers, hooks, and plugins — so it drops into a Claude Code or Codex setup with no rewiring.

  • The 1.0 changes you'll feel first

    Dashboard rows now summarize what the agent did on its last turn, and permission prompts print the full script before you approve it — fewer blind yes/no's on commands you can't read. Session restore is faster and large directories no longer choke the agent.

  • GitHub stops auto-assigning Copilot to your PRs

    Since Aug 7, GitHub Code Quality no longer auto-creates a ruleset requesting Copilot review on every pull request — after users said choosing a reviewer should be their call. If Copilot reviews quietly vanished from your PRs, that's why; re-enable per repo or org in ruleset settings. Affects Enterprise Cloud and Team.
