> (I already pay $40 a month)

As someone who has had Grok since it came out, I used to pay $40 a month, but then I started using Claude more often, I'm on Claude Max since I use it more than the lower subscription can handle. I at one point built my own Grok compatible coding harness, but Grok was underwhelming for me, I have not had the time or energy to burn $$$ just to make Grok work better with my harness, but I'm not spending $300 a month on something my employer will never approve me to use, I'd love to use it but the pricing will have to come drastically down.

hey I am the engineer who worked on the TUI and harness and happy to answer your questions.

We worked quite heavily on the TUI, its written in ratatui and we did try to go the extra mile to make sure that there won't be any regressions from moving to an alt-screen rendering. Lots and lots of small details to manage and get correct, we also tried to get vim keybindings correct while keeping it mouse friendly.

> The state of its Windows support is unclear to me.

yeah this one is a bit weird, you can run the linux binary using WSL and that should work. We have a window flavor build but its not as heavily tested yet (we are figuring out a better testing flow for windows)

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.

yes! we wanted to make sure that the binary works in your editors or via `-p`, no point in standing guard to how you would want to use it.

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

I guess it's cool if you like "white genocide" sprinkled randomly throughout the output.

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.

If you prefer your sycophants be national socialists, this is for you!
