Grok Code Fast 1 by xAI is a speedy and economical reasoning model that excels at agentic coding. It's available for free for a limited time on platforms like GitHub Copilot and Cursor, and via the xAI API.
The most impressive thing about the Grok Code Fast 1 launch is its wide availability from day one. It's already integrated into many of the most popular agentic coding platforms, including @Github Copilot@Cursor@Cline@opencode and so on.
The model itself is built from scratch to be a speedy and economical daily driver for agentic coding, striking a great balance between performance and cost.
To help you get the best results, xAI has also prepared a Prompt Engineering Guide for this model.
Congrats on the launch! The focus on agentic coding is super timely
Wishing you all the best with adoption!

Congrats! Still testing… Honestly, it's too fast for me to read the CoT and to be able to clarify something if the model makes a wrong assumption. It's not a vibe coding model, it needs a lot of specific instructions to be useful. Also, it likes to be very verbose with its solutions and overcomplicates code. In my testing it's honestly not that special apart from the speed.
