AI BriefingGrok Build Open-Sourced
Key point
xAI has open-sourced the source code of Grok Build, its coding agent and TUI.
Details
xAI has open-sourced its coding agent and TUI (Terminal User Interface), Grok Build, releasing it on GitHub. With this release, developers can directly see how the agent works, from context assembly to tool-call dispatch.
The released source code includes the following core components:
- Agent loop: How context assembly, model response parsing, and tool-call dispatch work
- Tools: Mechanisms for reading, editing, and searching code and executing commands
- Terminal UI: Rendering, input handling, plan review, and the inline diff viewer
- Extension system: How Skills, Plugins, Hooks, MCP servers, and Subagents are loaded and invoked
Notably, Grok Build can now be run in a Local-first manner. Users can compile the code themselves and connect a local inference engine, controlling all features through the config.toml configuration.
