Grok CLI, a new command-line interface for interacting Grok models directly in your terminal. In this livestream, I’m taking it for a spin from start to finish.
I’ll walk you through the complete installation and API key setup, then put it to the test on a real-world coding project to see how it performs. We’ll also keep a close eye on the API costs to see if it’s a practical tool for daily use. Is this a new contender against tools like Claude Code? Let’s find out.
