xAI Researcher Departs After Contributing to Four Agent Teams

An xAI researcher's departure post reveals the company has at least four distinct agent teams — a window into how aggressively xAI is investing in autonomous systems.

@YifeiZhou02 announced that their last day at xAI had arrived, noting they had "contributed to 4 different agent teams" during their tenure. The post is brief, but the detail about four separate agent teams is revealing. It suggests xAI is running parallel workstreams on agent development — likely spanning coding agents (the rumored Grok Code), the Grok app's assistant capabilities, X platform integrations, and possibly enterprise or API-facing agent products.
