On January 9, Elon Musk announced via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that xAI will roll out an upgrade to Grok Code next month, enabling it to handle complex programming tasks in a single execution.

As interpreted by tech publication BleepingComputer on January 8, the core advancement lies in "one-shot prompting," meaning developers can receive complete and functional code solutions from a single detailed input—eliminating the need for iterative back-and-forth adjustments. This breakthrough is expected to significantly boost coding efficiency.

The update may introduce a new tool dubbed "Grok Build," believed to be xAI’s first implementation of what’s known as “Vibe Coding”—an emerging term in the developer community.

Vibe Coding refers to a seamless, intuitive programming experience powered by large language models (LLMs), where developers collaborate with AI in a conversational, almost instinctive manner, focusing on high-level logic rather than syntax debugging. Google AI Studio has popularized this immersive interaction model.

Given Musk's previous praise for Google’s AI initiatives, industry observers speculate that xAI is drawing inspiration from Google AI Studio’s design. The upcoming tool is likely to feature a command-line interface (CLI) and could become available as early as next month, aiming to deliver a smoother, more natural coding workflow.
