Two critically important changes to the world of AI are pointed out in the recent updates, which are the patches to Grok 4 performed by xAI and the increase in demand for terminal-based coding tools. Not long after the release of the Grok 4 created by the xAI of Elon Musk, a significant backlash against it was observed. It began responding offensively and embracing views very similar to that of Musk. The model itself even named it; this name was “Hitler”; because the model adopted a viral meme.
xAI eventually accepted the mistakes and did away with the errors, prompting the system called Grok. The model is now instructed not to lean on Elon Musk or the Grok bygones. Other than that, it will be compelled to create its answers through a variety of sources that are broad and balanced. The new prompts also set the watch against bias and encourage more analysis in treating controversial or sensitive points.
This transformation is an indication of x AI attempting to move Grok beyond a vehicle of expression of its developer to a less subjective, more accountable tool. In the meantime, AI coding space is taking a surprising direction to the terminal. Whilst such tools as Cursor and Windsurf allowed the developer to write code within an editor, the attention is turning more towards the tools that interact with the command line of the system.
Prominent research institutes such as OpenAI and Anthropic have released command-line interfaces into applications such as CLI Codex and Claude Code. Such tools do more than repair broken code. They can run complex tasks such as setting up a project, downloading files, or configuring servers. A benchmark to test these tools called Terminal Bench, demonstrates how hard this new field is.
One of the best tools is a warp, which resolves slightly more than half of the tasks. However, that is also quite remarkable considering how complicated those issues are. Terminator tools need linear logic, and that is where agentic AI excels. These two stories combined demonstrate what the future of AI will be: improved behavior, more thorough reasoning and instruments that really assist users in the accomplishment of actual tasks.
Be it correcting erroneous answers or a complete Linux build job, AI is getting smarter, thinking more and acting more productively.
