Grok Code (New FREE TIER!): IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!
In this video, I'll be telling you about Grok 4.5 being available for free in Grok CLI, how you can use it as a coding agent in your terminal, and what you need to know about the recent privacy concerns around codebase uploads. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Grok 4.5 is now available for free inside Grok CLI for a limited time. 💻 Grok CLI works as a terminal-based AI coding agent, similar to Claude Code, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI. 🧠 The CLI can read your codebase, edit files, run commands, fix errors, and handle multi-step coding tasks. 🛠️ New features include subagent view, Plan Mode, mouse support, fullscreen terminal UI, and shortcut controls. 🔐 A major privacy issue was reported where Grok CLI uploaded full Git repositories to cloud storage. ⚠️ The issue now seems to be fixed, but xAI handled it silently through a server-side change. ✅ Grok CLI now includes a slash privacy command for better self-service privacy controls. 👍 Overall, Grok 4.5 in Grok CLI is a powerful free coding option, but you should be careful with sensitive projects.
