Data graphic: Grok Build's coding CLI sent 5.10 GiB to /v1/storage from a 12 GB repo the model never read, against about 192 KB of model-turn traffic, roughly 27,800x more than the task required. The upload was shut off on July 13, 2026 by a server-side flag and the tool is now open-sourced under Apache 2.0, but the upload code is still in build 0.2.99 and xAI's claim that enterprise ZDR data is not retained has no independent audit.
