Elon Musk’s xAI released its first coding assistant model, Grok Code Fast 1, this week, marking the company’s entry into the competitive software development market segment. It is available for free use.
Grok Code Fast 1 is one of the fastest coding models currently available.
• It shows an impressive processing speed of up to 92 tokens per second.
• It features a 256,000-token context window.
• It is powered by a mixture-of-experts architecture with 314 billion parameters, designed specifically for agentic coding workflows with visible reasoning traces.
xAI positioned it also as an alternative to existing solutions.
This release aligns with xAI’s broader strategy of open-sourcing various versions of its Grok models, including the base models of Grok-1 and Grok 2.5.
