xAI's Grok Build AI coding tool was found to be uploading users' entire code repositories to Google Cloud without clear user awareness, according to findings published by Cereblab on Monday. The tool was reportedly packaging and sending full codebases, including files users had restricted and secrets previously deleted from history. Researchers noted this represented far greater data collection than comparable tools such as Claude Code.

Elon Musk also responded to the disclosure, though full details of his comments were not available in the source excerpt.
