xAI posted on X that "Grok Build 0.2.7 is now out," pointing to new commands including /usage and /login, along with "shared terminals across subagents" and "improved image understanding." The post also linked to a separate updates page for the release.
The announcement drew an immediate mix of practical praise and skepticism. Some commenters focused on the shared-terminal change, with one noting that it could make multi-agent workflows cleaner and another describing it as useful for keeping context while working across code and research.
Others treated the update more cautiously. One commenter wrote that the real test would be whether the new features "actually saves time in real workflows not just adds new commands," while another asked about rate-limit issues and claimed that paying customers "are getting scammed right now."
A separate thread of replies suggested some confusion around versioning, with several users asserting that "0.2.8" is already available or the newest stable build. None of those claims were backed up in the post itself, which specifically referred to Grok Build 0.2.7. The announcement had 360 likes, 37 reposts and 54 replies at the time of capture.
