Grok Build 0.2.57

0.2.56→0.2.57·June 18, 2026 at 6:37 PM UTC

Patch release with stability fixes for compaction, notifications, clipboard handling, and network resilience, plus two new capabilities.

Changelog

  • [fix] Fixed cases where long-running conversation compaction could hang indefinitely.
  • [fix] Notification hooks now fire only for real user-attention events and no longer trigger constantly during tool use.
  • [fix] Fixed literal display of HTML entities such as < and > in responses and tool output.
  • [fix] Typing [ in the pager prompt no longer appears delayed.
  • [fix] Copy now tries all available Linux clipboard tools so paste works reliably in more terminals.
  • [new] Improved resilience to network blips during long responses by resuming instead of failing the turn.
  • [new] grok plugin install <name> now resolves plugins from registered marketplaces instead of only local paths.

Under the hood

  • Documentation now shows 256k context windows in model configuration examples.
  • Added otel_protocol setting (http/protobuf or grpc) for OpenTelemetry exporters.
  • Clarified how the [hints] table participates in the effective config merge and how teams can pin values via managed or requirements files.
