Another major Grok Build update just landed, packed with new features, extensive bug fixes, and meaningful performance improvements
Release Notes: v0.2.84 — 2026-07-03
Features:
• Announcements now update live during active sessions without restart or /new.
• Hiding an announcement no longer suppresses later criticals; new ones reappear automatically.
• run_terminal_cmd now requires a one-sentence description rationale in every invocation.
• ask_user_question timeout policy is now configurable in config.toml and /settings.
• Ask-Question timeout can now be toggled from /settings (Agent & Approval).
• Thinking/reasoning blocks are now shown by default while the model is working.
• Critical announcements now show a red title with a clickable [hide] button and aligned message.
• Added remote_fetch option under [features] in config.toml to disable all backend catalog and settings fetches for air-gapped environments.
Bug Fixes:
• Images pasted or read from GIF, BMP or TIFF files are now automatically converted so they work with image generation.
• Queue panel now shows action buttons on hover and the status bar displays a compact done/total task count.
• Hook matchers now correctly see the real MCP tool name instead of the internal dispatcher name.
• Copy now succeeds when running inside containers even when the terminal brand cannot be detected.
• Tool result previews no longer paint opaque panels in grok --minimal.
• grok wrap now correctly handles quoted strings and shell aliases.
• Text selection settings now correctly honor explicit keep_text_selection values even when legacy keys remain.
• Fixed a freeze that could occur when editing and sending the last message in the queue.
• Fixed a startup crash on minimal Linux systems lacking system CA certificates.
Performance:
• Grep now stops early on broad searches, returning faster results with far less memory use.
• Idle CPU and memory usage after long sessions or resume is now dramatically lower.

After eight seasons with the Lakers, including leading the franchise to the 2020 NBA championship, James departs and enters free agency set to join a new team.
Lakers president Rob Pelinka and Rich Paul spoke a short time ago about the four-time champion's plans, sources said. James chose to inform the Lakers well before start of free agency tonight out of courtesy and appreciation for their run together, and to allow LA to conduct its offseason business.
