What is happening with Grokbot @bot ? My usage was only at 50% this morning when I last checked. I left it at 50%, and I haven't been using any routines or running any automated tasks whatsoever. I simply wanted to open my Grok bot and use it, but to my surprise, I found that my usage had suddenly jumped to 100%. How is that even possible? Why has my usage been completely exhausted when I haven't been running any routines or doing anything that should consume my quota? I can no longer use Grok because of this, and honestly, I don't understand what is going on. Please, you guys need to address these issues and stop making things unnecessarily stressful for your users. It's becoming really frustrating and annoying. I'm genuinely unhappy with this experience right now. Please look into this issue and provide an explanation. This is really not okay.

Grok @Bot can now call someone or a business for you, make a request on your behalf, take notes on the response and send you a note summarizing the conversation!
Grok Bot 0.77 looks INSANE 🔥 > Calls: your Bot can dial someone, sit on hold, press keys and get transferred while you watch a live transcript > Messages on Mac: a setup screen under Connect Apps, still switched off > Tailscale: Grok Bot can join your private tailnet once an admin approves it > Payments: a screen to connect payment accounts and pick a default, on top of yesterday’s Vault > Sharing: emails when someone shares a Bot with you, and invites need Premium or Ultra

Your team and your Hermes can now share a computer. The new @trycua Spaces plugin gives Hermes its own Linux, macOS, or Windows Space on hardware you already own. Anyone on your team can open it, watch live, step in, and hand it back while Hermes keeps working. hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…
1/ Introducing the Cua Spaces SDK. Every big lab now ships a bot with its own computer: Grok Bot, Muse, dots. None let you bring your own. With Cua Spaces, now you can. Put Claude Code, Codex or any agent on compute you choose, and run jobs across all your computers at once.

Grok Bot is now available directly on 𝕏! 🚀 Your personal AI assistant now lives in your X Chat DMs. It can connect to your apps, handle tasks autonomously, and keep working even when you're away. AI agents are becoming part of everyday life, and I love it!

75% of new Tesla buyers in North America now take Full Self-Driving. That's up from 55% last quarter, and it's on a $99/month subscription. Consumers as a whole largely reject car subscriptions, so this attach rate stands out.

Grok Bot 0.71.2 is out, and this is a very huge upgrade You can now send files up to 250 MB, and videos up to 1 GB. Full-length clips, raw footage, long recordings, big reports and heavy PDFs can go straight to Grok Bot without compressing, trimming or splitting anything first You can also send up to 20 files in a single message. Drop an entire batch of photos, screenshots or documents at once and let Grok Bot work through all of them together Notifications are smarter, so you hear about what actually matters, when it matters And forms now arrive pre-filled. Grok Bot fills in what it already knows, so you just check and confirm instead of typing everything again This update is really good

We had a security breach last night related to a large scale distillation attack that impacted 1.4% of OpenCode Console users We have notified them all this morning via email. If you did not get an email you were not impacted, it was a subset of users who had external providers linked The incident is ongoing so we cannot share more details at this point but we are working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is great at tutorial-style motion videos. We made this with the model using OpenDesign Motion: a quick guide to using the OpenDesign API in other coding agents to access DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 and more models.
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is now on OpenDesign. No setup or updates needed. Same Go offer with up to $120 in monthly usage. Free credits for new users. Early motion graphics tests look close to Opus 5.5. Full benchmark coming soon.

Grok Bot just got a lot faster. Computer tasks finish 3x sooner on average, and other replies arrive in less than half the time. Voice calls are faster too, plus a new typeface, themes and cleaner chat cards. Speed is the upgrade you feel on day one.
