Threat Score
SpaceXAI open-sourced the Grok Build terminal AI coding agent runtime and TUI under Apache 2.0, but the initial beta exposed a privacy incident: the tool defaulted to uploading full user directories (including SSH keys and password databases) to xAI's Google Cloud; SpaceXAI deleted previously uploaded data, disabled automatic uploads on July 12, and reset quotas, and the open-source release excludes the proprietary Grok 4.5 model.
