girlfriend overheard me and started yelling at me asking me “who the fuck is kimmy” “why the fuck are you talking about chinese models”

Grok Build CLI just got an update with v0.2.102! 🚀 Changelog v0.2.102 Breaking Changes: • --minimal and --fullscreen flags now apply only to the current session. Features: • New /jump slash command lets you quickly jump to any previous turn in the conversation. • New /timeline sidebar shows a clickable tick rail for fast navigation between conversation turns. • grok login now requests Grok Projects scopes so workspace listing works after consent. • Permission mode can now be set fleet-wide via remote config when no local setting exists. • Edit tool output has a setting to show a compact one-line summary instead of always-expanded diffs. • Tab completion in !bash mode now works like a normal terminal (prefix fill, dropdown, directory drill-down). • Enterprise deployments can now disable voice dictation via `requirements.toml` so `/voice` and Ctrl+Space are hidden for everyone. • User prompts now appear bold only in `--minimal` mode; fullscreen keeps normal weight. • `grok plugin install` now accepts a marketplace's registered name as a qualifier. • Consecutive edits to the same file now collapse into a single scrollback row when collapsed edit blocks are enabled. • Local sessions now inherit your shell environment variables and keep the current directory across commands. Performance: • Improved recap and compaction behavior. Bug Fixes: • Login and re-login no longer stack multiple device-code polls or leave stale flows running. • Background task tools now render with correct icons and titles instead of the generic MCP wrench. • Task tool now correctly validates and displays allowed model slugs for subagents. • Rewind now correctly handles bash transcripts, permission follow-ups, and sessions that mix old and new prompt markers. • Re-login during a session now immediately uses the new token instead of requiring a new session. • Terminal commands using globs now behave the same on zsh as on bash and no longer fail with shell errors. • Installer no longer replaces stowed shell configuration symlinks with plain files on upgrade. • Voice transcription now works with enterprise API bases and API-key authentication. • Fixed crashes on some network-mounted home directories by using a safer SQLite journal mode. • Home and End keys now move to the ends of the current wrapped line in the prompt. • Arrow keys and Esc now work correctly inside viewers opened from the dashboard. • Warns at startup when user and project sandbox profiles define the same name differently. • Billing upgrade links now show the full URL in the transcript (and copy it) when a browser cannot be opened. • Fixed Ctrl+Y yank no longer working after sending a prompt. • No longer shows permission prompts seconds after a turn was cancelled with Esc or Ctrl+C. • Page Up and Page Down now move the highlighted entry to the top or bottom of the visible scrollback area. • Conflicting project and user sandbox profiles now show a clear warning on the welcome screen. • OAuth login URLs no longer contain duplicate referrer parameters. • File links in official VS Code Remote-SSH terminals now use VS Code's native path handling. • Minimal mode now shows the folder-trust prompt after sign-in when required. • Skills whose names collide with built-in slash commands are now reachable via qualified names. • Fixed background task tracking when using grok -p --no-wait-for-background so tasks are properly reaped on exit. • Rate limit errors (429) now show specific server messages (capacity, team limits, free-usage) instead of generic upgrade prompts, with correct copy based on auth type. • `/copy` slash command is now available in minimal mode.

I continue to be extremely impressed by Grok 4.5. It outperforms Opus at CAD. Excellent for fast builds and quickly editing features.

the frontier went from two labs to six in 6 weeks. it’s no longer just OpenAI and Anthropic, but also Z AI, Moonshot, Meta, and SpaceX. and near-frontier intelligence has got 2-3x cheaper in 8 days. even if you love Claude/Codex, this competition must makes you happy.

Not only Kimi-K3 is ready, Whale is coming very soon with vision.

PREDICTION after kimi k3 successful launch and mogs opus 4.8, Dario Amodei is gonna write an essay explaining how open-weight Chinese AI threatens democracy, national security, and the future of humanity

Kimi K3 vs GPT 5.6 SOL Created with Arcads

I gave the same task to grok-4.5 and gpt-5.6 sol, both in high thinking. Same harness (@pidotdev). grok: $0.181 sol: $0.444 Grok also completely in less than half the time. Sol spawned a subagent to achieve the same thing.

Grok 4.5’s efficiency is ridiculous On Artificial Analysis, it costs just $0.31 per Intelligence Index task while delivering frontier intelligence For comparison: • Claude Fable 5 (max): $2.75 • Claude Opus 4.8 (max): $1.80 • GPT-5.6 Sol (max): $1.04 • Kimi K3: $0.95 • Grok 4.5: just $0.31 That makes Grok 4.5 roughly: • Nearly 9× cheaper than Claude Fable 5 • Nearly 6× cheaper than Claude Opus 4.8 • 3× cheaper per task than Kimi K3 • 3.4× cheaper than GPT-5.6 Sol On FrontierSWE, Grok 4.5 also used nearly 6× fewer total tokens per task than Fable 5 while still ranking near the very top SpaceXAI has figured out how to deliver top-tier intelligence with extraordinary token efficiency At this level of performance, no other frontier model is operating in the same cost-efficiency league Grok 4.5 does not brute-force every problem with endless tokens and compute It makes every token and every dollar work harder

@T4B4_ @Daniel_Farinax @SpaceXAI @grok what methods would you recommend replacing Tailscale or any other dependencies?

@Daniel_Farinax @SpaceXAI fk tailscale

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Grok Build now supports the /𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 command! You can build with Grok directly from your phone! 🚀📱 I forked Grok Build and added the new /𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 command. No cloud, no extra infrastructure. Your desktop is the cloud.

it’s called kimi. it’s got trillions of parameters bro. it’s a chinese neolab dude. did you hear about inkling? did you try glm 5.2? did your org 2x token spend yet? they reset fable limits again. why didn’t you tweet about gpt 5.6? i have never spoken to the opposite sex

The best thing about Kimis's success is that it represents everything Anthropic hates.

when kimi k3 in cursor

NEW: German customer receives defamation warning from restaurant after leaving a 3-star review saying it was “just ok.”

Malaysia just became #110. Jews are there currently plotting to subvert the government, the Prime Minister found out and declared they'd all be deported if found.

US labs gonna end up distilling Chinese models

Universal is demanding every meme about the Odyssey be taken down. You’d think after all the money they made off Hercules they would be nice but apparently not.

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

you've gotta be more afraid of wasting your life than embarrassing yourself
