I wonder if releasing this may have been on the roadmap, but been prioritized as a bit of whiplash following the "you forfeit the entirety of your working directory as a condition of working with this tool" upset from a few days ago.
Neat, trying to reverse engineer some specifics of how it does stuff has been a pain in the ass, and this will make it easier.

I'll probably never use this, but at least they're not delusional enough to attempt to justify keeping their coding agent closed-source, especially after their recent data-harvesting cockup:

Sigh, why has the industry converged on TUI? Branding and aesthetics over functionality?

TUI is just much worse for me. I tried Codex CLI vs Codex UI and Codex UI beats it at every level.

I run it in containers. TUI is much easier to containerize vs GUI.
Easiest to use when sshing into a VM.
no way man, the only thing I do outside a terminal is slack and web browsing.
Interesting - seen some good experiencences in using grok by some devs, so maybe could be considered as an alternative to my beloved chinese models. Also, hard to give up on pi agent.
It's a shame that they exfiled private data. The model is actually good (better than opus 4.8 imo) and the harness itself is butter smooth with the potential of being the best out there.
Has anyone tried building from source?

The commit message says "initial sync from the monorepo." Is this even compilable without the rest of the source code?

This is not the right thing, this is the tactical thing. If you have an LLM with less than 1% of the share to begin with, you suffer from bad rep and you got caught uploading user data, one of the very few remaining tactical moves to try to climb out of it is this.
Couldn't agree less. It isn't a "For the community move", it's more of a save-face strategy.
It's awesome to see openness in these coding agents from the labs making the agents: Codex, Kimi Code, and now Grok Build.
Why bother with this when they already paid $60B for Cursor?
Many developers just want a good TUI and that's what it serves as.
They claim to have deleted or will be deleting all the data they exfiltrated.

There are independent agencies that will certify destruction of data. For example FTI Tech, Kroll, Epiq, HaystackID and others.

No such certificates have been presented.

Nothing less is trustworthy.

This is 100% smoke and mirrors. Prove the bucket is empty and nothing was transferred out and I'll believe they deleted it.
