Released Aug 12, 2026 — see all recent releases
Grok 4.6 is tracked, but not publicly ranked yet. The profile exposes 5 sourced benchmark rows and leaves unsupported fields blank until a published record exists.
Data as of August 12, 2026 · How the score is built
Strongest published evidence
Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.
Validate before choosing
5 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. Independent runtime speed has not been measured.
Decision snapshot
Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified
Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Coding opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track Grok 4.6, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
Grok 4.6 is a proprietary model with a 500K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Available through the xAI API, Grok Build, Cursor, and supported model gateways. The API accepts text and image input and returns text.
Official exact-value snapshot from xAI's August 12, 2026 Grok 4.6 documentation and launch post. Grok 4.6 is the successor to Grok 4.5, with a 500K-token context window and low, medium, high, or xhigh reasoning effort. We store the published High results for DeepSWE 1.1, CursorBench 3.2, FrontierCode 1.1 Extended, Terminal-Bench 3.0, and APEX-Agents as display-only rows because each result depends on an evaluation or agent harness. The composite intelligence, GDPVal v2, APEX-SWE, professional-work, and legal-agent rows stay outside the core schema rather than being collapsed into non-equivalent metrics.
Its explicit predecessor is Grok 4.5. 5 of 381 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Frequently asked questions
How does Grok 4.6 perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Grok 4.6 has 5 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is Grok 4.6 good for coding and programming?
Grok 4.6 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Grok 4.6 good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
Grok 4.6 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for agentic tool use and computer tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Does Grok 4.6 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Grok 4.6 currently has 5 source-displayable rows across 381 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Grok 4.6?
Grok 4.6 has a documented context window of 500K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
Last updated August 12, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
