<h1Chutes Build (<codechutes-build</code)</h1
Chutes Build is a terminal-based AI coding agent for the Chutes ecosystem. It runs as a full-screen TUI that understands your codebase, edits files, executes shell commands, searches the web, and manages long-running tasks — interactively, headlessly for scripting/CI, or embedded in editors via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

What this is, and what it is built on
Chutes Build is a fork of xai-org/grok-build — SpaceXAI's Grok Build — re-based onto upstream 1.0.0 and adapted to run on Chutes. Upstream wrote most of the code in this tree and it is used here under Apache-2.0; the project is not affiliated with or endorsed by SpaceXAI.
What the fork changes:
- Chutes, not xAI. Inference goes to llm.chutes.ai, the model catalog is
Chutes', the default route is Chutes' native model routing (the saved default pool, or an inline pool via CHUTESROUTINGPOOL), and media generation, OCR, usage and quota all go through Chutes APIs.
- Nothing phones home. Telemetry, remote error reporting, upload, session
sharing, remote workspace exposure and self-update are off at compile time and their endpoints are deadened, not merely unused. See PRIVACY.md.
- A few exclusive features: Chutes media generation and editing, OCR, voice
input through a Chutes STT endpoint, Context7 documentation lookup, and an isolated browser tool.
Everything else is meant to track upstream closely, so their fixes arrive by merge rather than by hand. docs/upstream-sync.md documents that procedure and records each sync; .github/upstream.json records the commit this tree is level with. SOURCEREV is inherited from upstream's published tree and refers to their monorepo, not to anything in this repository.
