Grok 4.7 is here. It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

We've unified plans across Grok, Cursor, and X Premium. Introducing The X Subscription.

Grok Build just got a monster update......this one pushes long-running agents, browser workflows, worktrees, hooks, permissions, and session recovery much further Background workflows can now be listed, stopped and resumed directly with /workflow, headless Grok waits for background goals and reports their outcome, Chrome profiles can persist across restarts, browser tabs can restore on demand, and workspace sessions can share browser cookies + storage There’s also a new /density control for tool-call detail, persistent domain approvals for web fetches, live slash-command updates when skills change, and secure request forms that can collect sensitive details like passwords or card numbers without sending those values to the model Underneath that is a massive hardening pass: cancel/edit-resend no longer unexpectedly reverts workspace files, long prompts are offloaded safely, worktrees recover and clean up more reliably, hooks and approval flows are tighter, browser state is more stable, background agents respect saved approvals, and resume/worktree performance is much faster Release Notes: v1.0.51 Breaking Changes • Cancel and edit-resend on long sessions no longer unexpectedly revert workspace files. • Memory settings simplified: rollout and file_writes_enabled options removed; memory is on or off. • Removed the /share command and related session sharing features from the CLI and SDK. Features • Inline viewports can now be restored at a previously saved screen area without extra cursor queries. • Headless grok -p now waits for background goals to finish and reports their outcome. • /imagine and similar commands now run the matching bundled skill when the required tools are unavailable. • New /density command and Tool call density setting let you choose how much detail tool calls show in the transcript. • Web fetch approval cards now include "always allow" and "never allow" domain options that persist for the folder. • Slash command completion now updates live when skills are added or changed during a session. • Request form now securely collects and fills sensitive details like passwords or card numbers without sending values to the model. • Chrome profiles can now be persisted across restarts using durable state directories. • Workspace server sessions now share one Chrome instance for cookies and storage. • /feedback Drafts tab now supports G / Home and End to jump to the first or last draft. • Pinned sessions on the dashboard now stay in the order you pinned or reordered them. • Shift+Enter, Ctrl+., Ctrl+/ and Ctrl+[ / ] now work inside tmux when extended-keys are enabled. • grok -p --output-format json now reports the exact worktree folder used (useful after -w name collisions). • Bare hook commands such as my-guard now run from PATH when not found next to the hook file. • Headless JSON error output now includes the worktree folder when a session was started. • grok sessions list and /resume now show worktree sessions started from the same subfolder. • /exit (and aliases) in a dashboard details view now closes only that session instead of quitting Grok. • Editors offering file access now receive a one-time transcript notice that the agent reads and writes disk files. • --background-wait-timeout now also stops an active headless goal after the timeout and exits with an error. • Interactive sessions now include the Grok Build user guide location so the agent can answer usage questions. • New /workflow commands let you list, stop, and resume background workflow runs without sending them to the model. • Background workflow runs now appear in the tasks pane with a stop button. • Hooks that ask about web searches or file deletes now show the hook name on the approval card. • config.toml now accepts an [update] section without breaking other commands. • Hook load errors listed in /hooks can now be expanded to see the full message. • grok worktree commands now work correctly inside Jujutsu repositories. • Images pasted with skill commands like /pr-workflow are now sent to the model. • Pressing Ctrl+C on a goal now pauses the goal instead of letting it continue. • grok -p now runs auth_provider_command when no login is stored. • Reopening a chat with an active goal now continues the goal automatically. • Browser tabs can now be restored on demand instead of all at once when a session resumes. • grok agent stdio now supports listing sessions via ACP and returns consistent reply envelopes. • Answering an approval with a message now tells the model it is a follow-up. • --allowed-tools is now accepted as an alias for --allow in headless mode.

Now in Grok Build: A new Agent Dashboard. All your agents on one screen. Try it with /dashboard

Over the last few weeks, Grok Build teams have optimized the harness for 4.7: - Better presentation, less slop, and better prose - Better self-validation - Improved thinking efficiency - Improved long-horizon monitoring tasks - Improved VLM and multimodal tasks Many FSD and Cybercab features I personally shipped were done with my overnight agents. Give it a try.
