xAI Introduces Grok Build: First AI Coding Agent in Early Testing for Subscribers - News and Statistics

May 15, 2026

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, xAI, has introduced its first AI coding agent, Grok Build, according to a report from Bloomberg. The move is aimed at closing the gap with Anthropic PBC’s Claude in the software development space.

The coding agent is currently in early testing and is accessible only to paying subscribers. It represents xAI’s initial foray into professional coding tools. Based on a post on the company’s website, the agent can execute complex coding tasks in response to user instructions.

Musk and xAI are working to catch up with other AI firms in the coding segment, a profitable area for AI that the billionaire has acknowledged his company has lagged behind in. Michael Nicolls, who serves as xAI’s president and also holds a role at Starlink, has directed staff to match Claude’s performance across various tasks, describing it as a near-term objective.

Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual, is restructuring his AI company ahead of an expected initial public offering by parent company SpaceX later this year, which is anticipated to be the largest in history. That restructuring has involved layoffs, costly new partnership agreements, and a wave of hiring to replace xAI’s founding members, all of whom have departed.

Last month, xAI entered a partnership with the AI firm Cursor, focusing on coding and computing resources. Engineers from Cursor have been collaborating with xAI in recent weeks, according to individuals familiar with the matter. However, several key engineers at xAI’s Palo Alto office have recently resigned, including Devendra Chaplot, a Mistral AI founder who joined in March, and Beibin Li, who led the company’s post-training team.
