VSCode Extension 'grok-build' to Add OpenAI and Local Speech-to-Text Options
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-08-20
The maintainer of the VSCode extension 'grok-build' proposed adding OpenAI and local STT options for voice input. Previously, the feature relied exclusively on xAI's voice API, requiring non-subscribers to pay per audio minute ($0.08/min). The author noted that this forced an extra vendor relationship and cost on users primarily using Codex or Claude. The issue suggests utilizing OpenAI's Whisper or gpt-4o-transcribe APIs to reduce costs, with implementation expected tomorrow.
