+# ["xai", "grok", "provider", "implementation", "complete"]
+Successfully added xAI provider support for Grok models to Goose:
+
+**What was implemented:**
+1. Created new XaiProvider in `crates/goose/src/providers/xai.rs`
+2. Added support for all Grok models: grok-3, grok-3-fast, grok-3-mini, grok-3-mini-fast, grok-2-vision-1212, grok-2-image-1212, etc.
+3. Uses x.ai's OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions
+4. Requires XAI_API_KEY environment variable
+5. Optional XAI_HOST configuration (defaults to https://api.x.ai)
+6. Updated provider factory and registry to include xAI
+7. Added xAI to GUI provider registry in ProviderRegistry.tsx
+8. Includes proper error handling for auth, rate limits, server errors
+
+**How to use:**
+- CLI: Set XAI_API_KEY env var, then use `--provider xai --model grok-3`
+- GUI: Configure xAI provider in Settings with API key
+
+**Key files modified:**
+- crates/goose/src/providers/xai.rs (new)
+- crates/goose/src/providers/mod.rs (added xai module)
+- crates/goose/src/providers/factory.rs (added XaiProvider to registry)
+- ui/desktop/src/components/settings/providers/ProviderRegistry.tsx (added xAI UI config)
+
+**Branch:** feature/add-grok-models

+
+# ["xai", "fix", "endpoint", "url", "api"]
+Fixed critical issue with xAI provider endpoint URL:
+
+**Problem:** 
+Getting 404 error when using xAI provider because of incorrect API endpoint construction.
+
+**Root Cause:**
+The code was constructing URL as: `https://api.x.ai` + `v1/chat/completions` = `https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions`
+But x.ai API documentation shows the base URL should be `https://api.x.ai/v1` and then append `chat/completions`.
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Changed `XAI_API_HOST` from `"https://api.x.ai"` to `"https://api.x.ai/v1"`
+2. Updated URL joining to append `"chat/completions"` instead of `"v1/chat/completions"`
+3. Updated UI provider registry default host to match
+4. Tested with curl - now returns proper 400 auth error instead of 404
+
+**Additional Issue Found:**
+User had `GOOSE_LEAD_MODEL: claude-opus-4-20250514` in config which was triggering lead/worker mode. This model doesn't exist, causing cascade failures. Recommend removing or updating to valid model.
+
+**Status:** Fixed and committed (commit 30dbcba3e4)
+
+# ["xai", "grok", "complete", "implementation"]
+COMPLETE: Successfully added xAI provider support for Grok models
+
+**Status:** Fully implemented and tested
+
+**Final Implementation Details:**
+1. Created XaiProvider in `crates/goose/src/providers/xai.rs`
+2. Fixed API endpoint URL: `https://api.x.ai/v1` + `chat/completions`
+3. Added all Grok models with 131K token context limit
+4. Added xAI to GUI provider registry
+5. Fixed context display (was showing 0/32000, now shows 0/131072)
+
+**Commits:**
+- ff54e6d576: Initial xAI provider implementation
+- 30dbcba3e4: Fixed API endpoint URL
+- 4eec0f2b87: Added Grok model context limits
+
+**Known Issue:**
+User has lead/worker configuration in their ~/.config/goose/config.yaml that needs to be cleaned up. The following entries should be removed:
+- GOOSE_LEAD_MODEL
+- GOOSE_LEAD_PROVIDER  
+- GOOSE_LEAD_TURNS
+- GOOSE_WORKER_* entries
+- GOOSE_MULTI_AGENT_* entries
+
+**How to Use:**
+1. Set XAI_API_KEY environment variable or in config
+2. Use --provider xai --model grok-3 (or configure in config.yaml)
+3. Models available: grok-3, grok-3-mini, grok-3-fast, grok-2-vision-1212, etc.
