SpaceXAI Grok 4.6 Competes with OpenAI While Reducing Costs

SpaceXAI's Grok 4.6 matches the performance of OpenAI's top models while being significantly cheaper. According to the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, SpaceXAI's new model scores 61 points, equaling OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol. Only the Claude Opus 5 (63) and Claude Fable 5 (62) achieve higher scores. This marks a five-point increase over its predecessor, Grok 4.5.

Grok 4.6 performs particularly well on agentic tasks, where models autonomously execute multi-step workflows. On the GDPval-AA v2 benchmark, which aims to measure knowledge work in the real world on a computer, it ranks second with an Elo score of 1,753, trailing only Claude Opus 5. It manages to complete complex tasks in about 53 steps, while Claude Opus 5 requires approximately 103.

Pricing remains at $2/$6 per million tokens. This represents over a 60% reduction compared to Claude Opus 5 ($5/$25) and GPT-5.6 Sol ($5/$30). Grok 4.6 is now available via the API, Cursor, Grok Build, and partners like OpenRouter, Vercel, and Cloudflare. For the first week, x.ai is offering double the usage quota in Grok Build and Cursor.
