x.AI, Elon Musk's AI firm, has released Grok Build, its first terminal-based coding agent. The CLI tool enters a market led by Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Available in early beta to SuperGrok Heavy subscribers, it offers plan mode, diffs, parallel sub-agents, and headless operation.
Microsoft plans to revoke most internal licenses for Anthropic's Claude Code and shift developers to its GitHub Copilot CLI tool. The move affects the Experiences and Devices team handling Windows and other products, with usage ending by late June. Sources point to cost savings at fiscal year-end alongside strategic reasons.
OpenAI's instructions for its Codex coding agent explicitly prohibit discussions of goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, and other creatures unless directly relevant to user queries. This rule appears multiple times in the Codex CLI tool, amid reports of the AI fixating on such topics when powering OpenClaw, an acquired agentic tool. Users shared funny experiences on X, sparking memes, while OpenAI staff confirmed the issue ties to model behaviors in agent setups.
