Here is a game changing update for those of you who use xAI’s API to develop your own apps. The latest update brings agentic server-side tool calling, so the model can now autonomously explore, search, and execute code. How is that different from other APIs? The other ones return tool calls for you to execute while the xAI API uses an autonomous reasoning loop. That enables the model to analyze your query, decide what tool to use, execute the tool and process the response.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is the complexity of your query as that involves agents deciding which tools to call to respond to your queries. More info is available here.
