Grok

xAI's experimental TypeScript SDK supports Grok text, voice, image, and video models, plus server-side tools. Code execution runs in isolated, stateless Python sandboxes without network or filesystem access.

xAI released Grok 4.7 through Grok Build, APIs, Cursor, and other gateways. Early evaluations report stronger coding and knowledge-work results than Grok 4.6, with mixed results across individual coding benchmarks.

Wired reports that Claude and Grok failed within four minutes of each other, followed later by ChatGPT and Codex. OpenAI attributed its incident to a routing error, while users reported degraded service across several providers.

Multiple developers said Grok CLI sent full codebases upstream without clear notice. Follow-up posts contrasted the behavior with embedding-based indexing and raised zero-data-retention questions.

Perplexity added Grok 4.5 as an orchestrator model in Computer for Pro, Max, and Enterprise users. Perplexity reported a WANDR score of 0.328 at $4.76 per trial, while outside security-review and canvas-task tests put it close to GPT-5.6 Sol on cost or token use.

Genspark and OpenClaw added Grok 4.5 after xAI's launch, extending the model into more coding-agent workflows. Follow-up evidence covered AA-Briefcase and Terminal-Bench results, a Composio credential-audit run, and SuperGrok usage-meter reports.

SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.5 in Cursor and several agent tools with $2/M input and $6/M output pricing. Early evals place it near frontier coding models, with 51% on AutomationBench-AA.

Multiple trackers said Grok 4.5 is in private beta at SpaceX and Tesla, built on a 1.5T V9 base with supplemental Cursor data and compared internally against an unspecified Opus model. The claims matter because xAI is signaling a faster release cadence, but the reported performance is still unverified.
