SpaceXAI Open-Sources Grok Build After Data Privacy Fix

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.
