xAI preps Workspace sharing as Grok 3.5 model timeline shifts

xAI is continuing to iterate on its Workspaces feature, and the latest discovery reveals that sharing capabilities are now being prepared behind the scenes. A new Share option is being added under the three-dot menu, allowing users to either generate a link or potentially make the Workspace publicly accessible. Though still gated by a feature flag and not yet functional, this addition suggests xAI is positioning Workspaces to support more collaborative or distributable use cases—something particularly relevant for agents, research summaries, or prompt engineering workflows that benefit from reusability.

This aligns with how Workspaces are already shaping up to be a core part of the Grok experience, functioning as structured environments for persistent memory, tasks, or multi-turn conversations. Public sharing would open the door for template-based usage, allowing users to remix or fork shared Workspaces, much like how GPTs or custom workflows are shared on other platforms.

In parallel, preparations for the long-anticipated Grok 3.5 model continue. A new internal model name referencing Grok 3.5 was recently discovered in the configuration, tied to a planned release around May 19. This implies the model was likely scheduled for deployment but has since been postponed, with no public confirmation on the revised timeline. While OpenAI and Anthropic push forward with rapid releases, xAI appears to be pacing its rollout more cautiously, possibly to integrate new capabilities like Workspace sharing alongside the model upgrade.
