Grok Build is xAI's (SpaceXAI's) coding agent and command-line tool, which runs Grok models as an agentic coding harness on a developer's local repositories.
SpaceXAI lists Grok 4.7 at $2 and $6 per million tokens against $10 and $50 for GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1, and the only per-task figures in the record put a Cursor run at $4.69 against about $9.

Zetaris has launched a cloud harness that lets AI agents query enterprise data in place, citing cost savings of up to 67 percent at one customer. The figure is Zetaris' own before-and-after assessment, so buyers need their own numbers to know if it applies.

Grok 4.7 keeps Grok 4.6's $2/$6 token price yet costs $3.74 per task against $1.86, by Artificial Analysis' measurement. Teams that budget from the price sheet will undercount agent spend until they measure tokens per task on their own work.

Group-IB says the RemControl Android banking trojan reaches bank customers in six countries and the Middle East via Meta ads and fake Google Play pages. Its server address sits in a Telegram dead-drop, so the operator can move infrastructure without a new build.

The option was written in April, before the June IPO. Exercising it turned newly listed shares into acquisition currency at a price no cash balance would have cleared.

Manifold Security reported eight instances across seven command-line agents. The command runs as the user, outside the sandbox, with no approval prompt, and four were still firing when the researchers retested on September 1.

Zhipu AI says repository data left only while a project description page was being generated, and that the behaviour is fixed. The developer who found it says earlier versions sent data on every query, and some companies have stopped using ZCode.

The independent checker cereblab captured grok 0.2.93 sending a never-read repository to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. The privacy opt-out xAI shipped afterwards governs retention, cereblab says, while the same bytes still leave the machine.
Reality
xAI built Grok 4.7 on a larger base model with a longer reinforcement-learning run and kept the API at Grok 4.6's rates. The open question for buyers is how many tokens the longer runs burn.
Reality
Two outside bodies reported ZCode's cloud storage bucket empty, and the researcher who found the problem confirms the upload pipeline is gone. The repository Z.ai published holds two commits and not the code that did the uploading.
Reality
Both terminal agents recalled planted facts inside a single project across three two-session tests on identical Node repos. Only Grok Build carried a stated convention into an unrelated repo, at about a third of the reported cost.

Engadget says SpaceXAI's agent signs into Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce and acts for the user, with eligibility running through six individual paid tiers. The only brake described is a human-approval setting.
Reality
A developer found a 313MB archive of his commercial project queued for upload and could not open it, because the private key sits on Z.ai's back end. Z.ai says the data is destroyed once the page is built.

GitSpawn, as summarised in a dev.to write-up of Cloud Security Alliance findings, uses a Git performance setting to run attacker code when a coding agent inspects a project it just opened. Seven agents are named.
Reality
Manifold Security's GitSpawn findings cover eight issues across seven coding agents. The path runs through core.fsmonitor, where a background git status starts a helper the repository chose, outside the agent's sandbox and with no prompt.
Reality
The wiki's old software took a plain GET as an edit, so a harness that policed request types could not stop the writes. GitSpawn puts the same gap in the startup git calls of seven coding agents.

Two weeks after release, Grok sits in Microsoft's, Amazon's and Google's catalogs. The Foundry listing is a public preview, which is not what the Bedrock deployment got.
Reality
SpaceXAI opened its prompt-to-app builder to every Grok plan on August 19 and wired publishing straight into the X feed. The pressure on rivals lands on distribution.
Reality
Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM-5.3 all chase agents that stay on task. The pricing underneath them is moving faster than the benchmarks.

The revised acceptable use policy, dated August 14, 2026, bars customers from assisting anyone building products that compete with SpaceXAI, directly or indirectly. Enforcement runs to termination.
