Farzad: X Ads API Plugin Same Day

Farzad said he asked the SpaceX team for a Grok Bot path to the X Ads API and that they turned around a plugin the same day; he then called the Grok Bot team GOATed. He also got Elon’s Will fix on lifting the 10-minute video upload API cap, laid out a Master-agent setup that pings one action item at a time, said there is a war for the OS for digital work (agents), and reacted to Fable 5.1 landing in Cursor plus data-center headlines.

X Ads API plugin same day

Farzad, Sep 1, 11:16 AM CT: Huge help for X ads is being able to connect to it through API. He wants Grok Bot to auto-manage and auto-improve ads for his books without burning tokens in the browser, and says he can already do that on Meta Ads and ChatGPT plus Amazon ads (Amazon takes longer and needs approval). Same calendar day, 10:44 PM CT, he quoted @imohitbhatia’s done reply and wrote: Earlier today I asked the SpaceX team for a way for my Grok Bot to connect to X Ads through API to manage my book ads, and they freaking turned around a plugin on the same day. Grok Bot team is so unbelievably GOATed. Two minutes earlier he replied IT WORKS! That is Farzad’s ask and his same-day ship claim; @imohitbhatia’s done line is the X Ads team reply he quoted (bio: Building Ads Product at X), not a public X Ads product blog post in the thread.

Elon: Will fix on the 10-minute video API cap

Farzad, Sep 1: A huge upgrade for X creators would be uploading videos longer than 10 minutes through the API. Right now it is capped at 10 minutes. As a long-form creator with Grok Bot, he wants autonomous YouTube ↔ X cross-posts. Elon replied Will fix on that thread. Farzad answered TYVM - huge help. Chuck Cook quote-tweeted the Will fix the same morning. The Will fix is Elon’s reply in Farzad’s API-cap thread, not a shipped API change yet.

Master agent: ping one item at a time

Farzad, Sep 1: The ultimate Grok Bot setup for him is to filter everything through one agent and hide everything else. That master owns as many specialist agents as needed, spins up room chats where agents should talk, and — most important — pings him only one action item at a time, then the next after he clears it. Offload multitasking to the agents; let work come to you. He says Grok Bot is consistent enough to trust with that autonomy. That is Farzad’s operating thesis and shareable setup, not a Grok Bot product doc.

War for the OS for digital work

Farzad, Sep 1: There’s a war for the Operating System for Digital Work. aka Agents. That is Farzad’s framing, not a third-party market study cited in the tweet.

Fable 5.1 in Cursor — and Box’s early eval

Cursor, Sep 1: Claude Fable 5.1 is now available in Cursor. Cursor says it is the most capable model they have run on CursorBench 3.2, scoring 73.4% at max effort, and calls out self-verification on hard coding tasks. Farzad reposted. He also quote-tweeted Anthropic’s Fable 5.1 / Mythos 5.1 announce with oh wow. Separately he liked Aaron Levie’s Box early-release note: Fable 5.1 delivered a 7 percentage point jump over Fable 5 on Box’s complex enterprise unstructured-data eval, with example lifts Box cites in financial services, technology, and public sector tasks. Gavin Baker posted that Grok 4.6 and Fable 5.1 are alone on the CursorBench pareto frontier and flagged Astra, Grok 4.7, and Fable 5.2 as next; Farzad reposted. The 73.4% and Box percentage points are Cursor’s and Levie/Box’s reported eval numbers, not Farzad’s independent benchmark.

Free Grok Bot token reset

Elon, Sep 1: We’re giving all Grok Bot users another free reset on token usage. Farzad liked it. That is Elon’s product line, not Farzad’s.

Data centers: $10k checks and a water jab

innovationcncl, Sep 1: A Pennsylvania data center is offering $10,000 checks to residents as part of its community benefits package. Farzad quote-tweeted BRILLIANT. Separately Polymarket posted that Microsoft’s new Wisconsin data center will reportedly use less water this year than a typical car wash; Farzad quote-tweeted BAN IT. NOW. TOO MUCH. The $10k line is innovationcncl’s; the car-wash water comparison is Polymarket’s “reportedly”; Microsoft and local reporting put Wisconsin’s Mount Pleasant site closer to a typical restaurant, not a car wash. Farzad’s replies are reaction, not primary reporting.
