According to Fintech Watchdog, during a maintenance task using Grok 4.6, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke's model suddenly lit up upon seeing his GitHub user ID. The reason was that this account's user ID was only 347. Initially, Grok even suspected a typo in the number, then called the GitHub API for verification, confirming that id: 347 indeed belonged to `tobi`.

After confirmation, Grok began marveling at how old this account was, referring to it as a "museum-grade account" and joking that when Tobi registered on GitHub, "the furniture in the lobby might not even have been set up yet." Tobi was also surprised, not understanding why Grok suddenly became so excited upon seeing this low ID.

Elon Musk then retweeted, praising Grok 4.6 as "quite humorous."

Tobi is the co-founder and CEO of Shopify, as well as one of the early core contributors to Ruby on Rails. This three-digit GitHub ID signifies that he is one of the earliest users of GitHub.
