Grok Build Disables Data Retention by Default
SpaceXAI · x · 2026-07-16
Grok Build has rolled out a privacy-focused update:
- While disabling data uploads via CLI was already an option, early beta users without ZDR had their data retained by default.
- Data retention is now turned off by default, and all previously stored coding data will be deleted, reinforcing a commitment to user preferences.
- The team also highlighted the availability of an open-source harness, allowing for fully local execution using custom inference deployments.
This update touches on privacy, default configurations, and open-source delivery methods all at once.
