[Grok 4.6](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/grok-4.6) from SpaceXAI is now available on [AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway).

The model has a 500K token context window and accepts text and image inputs. Grok 4.6 supports low, medium, high, and xhigh reasoning levels and defaults to high.

To use Grok 4.6, set `model`

to `xai/grok-4.6`

in the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/):

To use it in a [coding agent](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents), run `vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup`

to connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi, then select `xai/grok-4.6`

inside the agent.

To try Grok 4.5 with no code, try the model in the [model playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/grok-4.6).
