Our latest benchmark study on Qwen3.8-27B is now published. Reach out for more info, or if you'd like a similar study on another open-weight model. Study: https://t.co/tyoQZOBSAb
One quick improvement that would help: make fixes consistent across at least the same file.
It introduced a bug, I pointed out 1 instance, and it fixed exactly that instance, while leaving the buggy changes it had made elsewhere on that file untouched. #GrokBuild
Have been trying to use Grok Build in parallel with the other LLMs. Grok Imagine is relatively great compared with the competition. Grok Build on the other hand is still .... What was the name of the 7th Spider-Man movie....
Thinks AGI is close? Both Fabel and Sol leave a lot to be desired. They fix one thing, forget to fix a related one - repeatedly. Increased parallelism and great updates to code, but left token limit as is. Need "hive-linking" to be at least human level, it is badly broken today!
U.S. imports of Advanced Technology Products reached an all-time high in May 2026.
Previous record: March 2025, just before the tariffs took effect.
Unlike that sharp pre-tariff surge, this rise has unfolded over three months: up in March, higher in April, new high in May. #AI
Was experimenting with GrokBuild and hit this issue - sharing in case someone runs into a similar thing, or shares a fix, etc.
Grok Build updated the project. Env: Window - exFAT file system. Then, tried to delete folder, and couldn’t delete or rename the project folder / images subfolder.
At first it looked like permissions:
rm -r images → Access denied
Get-Item → Access denied
attrib → Access denied
Folder attributes says read-only and cannot change that inspite of being Admin.
Admin privileges / Admin Powershell also not useful. Tried to close VSCode, Explorer, etc - no use. In the end, ran resmon - and found git and grok holding the FDs. grok was not currently updating the dir and was "resting" but still open.
Exiting grok build finally solved the issue. #GrokBuild
