On 16 October 2026, the official @bot account posted a thread of improvements to Grok Bot’s quality, polish, and speed.
We’ve made some improvements to Grok Bot’s quality, polish, and speed.
Cards in chat have a new design with a cleaner layout.
A later post in the same thread stated:
Grok Bot is much faster. Computer tasks finish 3x sooner on average, and replies to everything else arrive in less than half the time.
Elon Musk quoted that post: “Grok @Bot got much faster”.

Context
The posts are from the official @bot account. Elon Musk amplified the speed claim the same day. Staff member @Baconbrix later wrote that Grok Bot computer use is now way faster.
The public Grok Bot changelog at x.ai/changelog/bot still listed v0.70.2 (11 October 2026) as the latest release when this brief was written.
Limits of this report
The thread does not state a version number, which surfaces or plans receive each change, or independent measurements of the speed claims. Only the statements in the @bot posts (and Elon’s quote) are reported.
