Only for SuperGrok Heavy ($300/m) subscribers. Too bad..

Would have been curious to compare against the other competitors

guywithahat•36m ago
To be fair it's in early beta, I wouldn't be surprised if they open it up to more people as time goes on. The real question is if they'll open source it or follow Anthropic's lead in keeping everything closed-source
frb•24m ago
You could be right.

Just feels like they are a bit late to the CLI coding agent party. So why not get in with a bang and open up to a broader audience?

All other agents have a lower barrier to try and play around.

Curious too about open sourcing. But they seem to be doing -p mode and ACP right already. Anthropic is opening a lot of opportunities for competitors right now

> Headless mode (-p) allows easily running agents inside scripts and automations. The CLI also provides full ACP support to build your own bots and agent orchestration apps.

Good, they are explicitly supporting automation similar to OpenAI.

Pretty sure they all do.

$ claude -h Usage: claude [options] [command] [prompt]

Claude Code - starts an interactive session by default, use -p/--print for non-interactive output

$ gemini -h Usage: gemini [options] [command]

Gemini CLI - Defaults to interactive mode. Use -p/--prompt for non-interactive (headless) mode.

$ copilot -h Usage: copilot [options] [command]

GitHub Copilot CLI - An AI-powered coding assistant.

Start an interactive session to chat with Copilot, or use -p/--prompt for non-interactive scripting.

SuperGrok Heavy subscription appears (for me) to be on sale at the moment - $99/mth for 6 months then $300/mth.

Does the space need another biased tool? Does this offer anything unique?

I’m good with the open source options.

OpenCode and Pi agent are much more customizable than the proprietary options will ever be.

Only $300 a month. (Or $3,000 a year.)

The xAI casino wants all of your money even if you don't use it for a month.

bonesss•30m ago
I’m still flabbergasted by the business model, it reminds me of SEO services: if you were any kind of good at it there is infinite money to be made partnering with established players and selling goods and services directly.

Selling tools to others when you’re not using them yourself says everything about the underlying utility of what’s being sold.

xAI could be threatening Office, or Windows, or Unreal Engine, Chromium, SalesForce, global ERP, tax software for citizens and governments alike, or Apples manufacturing prowess… but, no, forget that lame nonsense, let’s see what I have in my wallet! Maybe I can give some to Elon to cover up his sketchy business practices. Sounds logical.
