Grok 4.6
The Real-Time Reasoning Engine
SpaceXAI's Grok 4.6 launched August 12, 2026, scoring 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index — matching GPT-5.6 Sol and trailing Claude Fable 5 by just 1 point. It offers a 500K-token context window and the most aggressive pricing of any frontier model at $2/M input, $6/M output tokens ($0.50/M cached). Available via the xAI API, Grok Build, and Cursor (now SpaceXAI-owned after the $60B acquisition completed August 14). Earlier Grok 4.5 launched July 8-9; EU consumer app access may still vary by region.
