Search endpoints migrating to new search index

2026-05-04T00:00:00+00:00

Today, we migrated the X API v2 search endpoints ( /2/tweets/search/recent , /2/tweets/search/all , /2/tweets/counts/recent , /2/tweets/counts/all ) to the new X core platform search index. This brings major performance improvements, dramatically fewer 503 errors, and three new precision operators: min\_likes: , min\_replies: , and min\_reposts: . Note: retweets are no longer returned in keyword-based search results (the Filtered Stream is unchanged). Learn more here .

Custom Voices

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

You can now clone a voice from a short audio clip and use it across the Text-to-Speech and Voice Agent APIs. Create and manage your voice catalog from the xAI console. For more details, check out the Custom Voices docs and our blog post.

Grok Build

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

Grok Build is now available in beta. Use the interactive TUI, run headlessly in scripts, or build apps and orchestrators with the Agent Client Protocol.

Grok Build 0.1

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

xAI's fast coding model trained specifically for agentic coding, currently in early access. The model slug is grok-build-0.1 .

Image Search in Web Search

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

Web Search now supports explicitly searching for images. Enable enable image search to let Grok search directly for relevant images; responses can include returned images as Markdown image embeds. For details, see Enable Image Search.

WebSocket Responses API Mode

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

WebSocket Responses API mode is now available. Drive the Responses API over a single, long-lived WebSocket connection for lower end-to-end latency on tool-heavy agent workloads. For more details, see the WebSocket Mode docs.

Context Compaction

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

The Context Compaction API is now available. You can shrink long conversations into a shorter context and reuse it in follow-up requests for lower cost, faster time-to-first-token, and sharper responses on long agent loops. For more details, see the Context Compaction docs.

Smart Turn for Streaming STT

2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00

The streaming Speech to Text API now supports Smart Turn end-of-turn detection. When enabled via the smart turn query parameter, an ML model predicts whether the speaker has finished their thought at silence boundaries — reducing false endpointing during dictation, number sequences, and mid-sentence pauses. Use smart turn timeout to set a maximum silence fallback. For more details, see the Smart Turn docs.

Direction filter for X Activity API subscriptions

2026-03-18T00:00:00+00:00

Today, we added an optional direction filter to X Activity API subscriptions. Subscribers can now scope DM and chat events to sent , received , or both, reducing noise when only outgoing or incoming events are needed.

Updates to event types format in the X Activity API

2026-03-13T00:00:00+00:00

Today, we announced changes to event type naming in the X Activity API, effective March 18, 2026.

Update any filtering, switch statements, or deserialization logic that relies on the old values. Learn more here .

Addressing LLM-generated spam

2026-02-23T00:00:00+00:00

Today, we made changes to reduce automated, low-quality replies on X. Programmatic replies via POST /2/tweets are now only permitted when the original Post’s author has “summoned” the replier (by @mentioning that account or quoting one of its Posts). Additional restrictions apply to programmatically @mentioning or quoting users. These changes affect self-serve tiers only — Enterprise access is not impacted. Learn more here .
