On July 24, Anthropic put it at the top of nearly every test they publish: But then I used it for a few days. The more I worked with it, the less I liked it. And it’s not just me. For example: My timeline has looked like this for two weeks. “Cancel the subscription.” “Bring back 4.6.” “Anthropic broke it.” The closest thing to advice out there is this: Right diagnosis, half a prescription.

The extension loads again. 3.2.0 through 3.2.5 failed to start: a module the sidebar needs at runtime was left out of the published package, so activation threw before a single command was registered — every Grok: command answered "command not found" and the sidebar never appeared. Update from any 3.2.x; the downgrade to 3.1.0 is no longer needed. Grok Build Desktop was never affected. Found and diagnosed in #101. Packaging refuses to build a package that cannot load.

Grok Build Desktop (Community) is a free standalone app that runs xAI's Grok Build coding agent on Windows and macOS. No editor, no terminal. You install it, open a project folder, and start working. I built it, and I also build the VS Code extension. Neither is affiliated with or endorsed by xAI. Last verified: August 7, 2026. The app is a pre-release, and code signing is still rolling out. See Before You Install. Most people who bounce off coding agents do not bounce off the agent.
