Grok Build harness joins unified AI SDK interface

Grok Build is now available as `@ai-sdk/harness-grok-build`, letting you swap it for other coding agents through the standard `HarnessAgent` interface without changing application code.

Summary

Reduces lock-in to a single coding-agent runtime. If Grok Build underperforms or pricing changes, you swap the harness parameter instead of refactoring agent code.

Implementation verdict

Replaces direct Grok Build SDK imports with the standardized harness adapter. Requires `@ai-sdk/harness-grok-build` and minimal setup (three lines shown). Ready to use now if you're already on AI SDK v7.

Sources

1.The AI SDK harness layer lets you run established coding-agent runtimes through one unified interface, so you can switch runtimes without changing your application code
2.@ai-sdk/harness-grok-build is the official harness adapter for Grok Build, built on top of the ACP harness adapter
3.The full supported list of harnesses is now: Claude Code, Codex, Deep Agents, Grok Build, OpenCode, Pi, with more coming soon
