Grok Build

frb

Only for SuperGrok Heavy ($300/m) subscribers. Too bad.. Would have been curious to compare against the other competitors

> Headless mode (-p) allows easily running agents inside scripts and automations. The CLI also provides full ACP support to build your own bots and agent orchestration apps. Good, they are explicitly supporting automation similar to OpenAI.

Do we really need another one of these..?

SuperGrok Heavy subscription appears (for me) to be on sale at the moment - $99/mth for 6 months then $300/mth.

Does the space need another biased tool? Does this offer anything unique? I’m good with the open source options. OpenCode and Pi agent are much more customizable than the proprietary options will ever be.

Only $300 a month. (Or $3,000 a year.) The xAI casino wants all of your money even if you don't use it for a month.

Whats the use case for Grok over the others? Close integration with Twitter is the only thing I can come up with.

Ok, but why though? More expensive, as good or worse at the job, and it runs in the terminal, because that's cool?

I won't be able to fully test because the interactive prompt gates on the user having an advanced subscription (I already pay $40 a month) which for now doesn't seem to be worth it. However, the TUI as shown in a post [0] by one of their engineers is quite beautiful. For a moment I thought it was written in Python because it looks similar to Textual [1] but I inspected the binary for my platform [2] and it seems to be written in Rust. I guess Ratatui is quite customizable! The state of its Windows support is unclear to me. The Bash installer script [3] has a comment on top that says "Windows: run under Git for Windows / MSYS2 Bash (same curl | bash flow); WSL uses the Linux binary." I ran the binary normally in a Nushell session and didn't encounter any issue other than a start-up time that was slower than expected on the first run. Perhaps I would have seen issues had I gotten past the login step.

For those using it instead of the other options, I am curious why? Is it better along some dimension? Is it cheaper? Is it faster?
