Grok 4.6
Grok 4.6 is xAI's frontier model for long-running agents and interactive, visual development work, built on the same 1.5-trillion-parameter V9 foundation as Grok 4.5 with additional supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. It matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (both score 61) and leads on CursorBench v3.2 at 69.9%, with gains over Grok 4.5 across coding, research, and agentic benchmarks. xAI highlights it for vulnerability patching, engineering design work, and turning a rough product idea into a working first version, with improved self-testing on longer tasks. The model accepts text and image input with text-only output, a 500,000 token context window, and no output token limit. Reasoning effort is configurable across four levels (low, medium, high, xhigh), and it supports function calling, web search, X search, and code execution. At $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, it costs the same as Grok 4.5.
ChatGrok 4.5
Grok 4.5 is xAI's flagship mixture-of-experts model, trained jointly with Cursor on trillions of tokens of real coding sessions alongside STEM, research, and knowledge-work data. Elon Musk described it as an Opus-class model, faster and more token-efficient at a lower cost than comparable frontier models. It is tuned for coding, including Rust and C/C++, and for multi-step agentic workflows. It also handles finance and legal work, and can build multi-sheet Excel models with live web research, design diagrams in PowerPoint, and write structured documents in Word. Reasoning effort is configurable as low, medium, or high, with high as the default. The model accepts text and image input, supports a 500,000 token context window, and includes native tool calling. At $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, it suits developers building coding agents and knowledge-work tools who need frontier-level capability without paying Opus-class pricing.
ImageGrok Imagine Image
Grok Imagine Image is xAI's standard text-to-image generation model, built on Aurora — an autoregressive Mixture-of-Experts architecture trained on billions of text-image pairs. It accepts text prompts and optional reference images as input, producing up to 10 images per request at 1K (1024×1024) or 2K (2048×2048) resolution across 13 aspect ratios. Output formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The model is noted for strong instruction following, handling style transfer, object addition or removal, and multi-reference composition through natural language alone. It generates images quickly, making it practical for high-volume pipelines. Best suited for product mockups, marketing visuals, social media graphics, and concept art prototyping where speed and prompt adherence matter. A higher-quality variant, Grok Imagine Image Pro, is available when output fidelity is the priority.
