SpaceXAI Open-Sources Grok Build After Data Privacy Fix
By open-sourcing Grok Build after addressing a data privacy issue, SpaceXAI is signaling a shift toward transparency and community oversight for its coding agent.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
SpaceXAI, formerly xAI, has open-sourced the Grok Build AI agent, a coding tool powered by Grok 4.5. The source code is available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0. The move follows a controversy where the initial beta version sent codebase data to SpaceXAI servers by default, a practice that was disabled on July 12 and uploaded data deleted.
The code for Grok Build, which launched in May as a command-line coding agent, is now available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license. The agent, powered by the Grok 4.5 model, can autonomously execute coding tasks, answer questions in the terminal, and generate plans in Plan mode. It also supports extension via Skills and MCP servers.
SpaceXAI is inviting vulnerability reports through HackerOne. The open-sourcing comes after a security issue was reported: the initial beta version uploaded codebase and authentication data to SpaceXAI servers by default. That default was disabled on July 12, and all uploaded data was deleted.
