Grok 4.6, xAI’s latest reasoning model, is now rolling out in GitHub Copilot. It is designed for agentic coding and complex multi-step workflows.

In our internal testing, Grok 4.6 showed strong results across terminal-based coding tasks in Visual Studio Code and Copilot CLI. It performed especially well on longer-horizon tasks requiring sustained reasoning and tool use, making it a strong fit for complex coding workflows.

This model is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing. See GitHub Copilot’s pricing for models and requests for details.

Availability in GitHub Copilot Grok 4.6 will be available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise SKUs.

You’ll be able to select the model in the model picker in:

  • Visual Studio Code
  • Visual Studio
  • Copilot CLI
  • GitHub Copilot cloud agent
  • GitHub Copilot app
  • JetBrains

Rollout will be gradual. Check back soon if you don’t see it yet.
