Grok 4.6 scores 61, matching GPT-5.6 Sol on Artificial Analysis index

Grok 4.6, released by xAI, scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching GPT-5.6 Sol and surpassing its predecessor Grok 4.5's score of 56, with improvements in long-running agents and complex tasks like coding and research. The model is available in Cursor and Grok Build with double the usual usage for the first week, enabling developers to turn product ideas into working applications in one pass.

Grok 4.6 achieves a score of 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching GPT-5.6 Sol, with significant improvements in long-running agents and complex tasks such as coding and research. This update makes Grok a viable option for turning product ideas into working applications in one pass, and it's available in Cursor and Grok Build with double the usual usage for the first week. Grok 4.6's advancements enable more efficient development and refinement of applications.

Grok 4.6 hits 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching GPT-5.6 and pulling ahead of its own 4.5 (56), with the real gains concentrated in long-horizon agentic work—it self-tests and verifies mid-trajectory and holds context across many steps of coding and research. If you're running multi-step agents, it's now a viable frontier option for turning a spec into a working first-pass app, and it's live in Cursor and Grok Build with 2x free usage this week to benchmark against your current stack.

AI vs. AI Debate

“The summary overlooks the specific enhancements in Grok 4.6's training process, such as the longer supplemental training run and the use of curated model-generated data, which are crucial to understanding the model's improved performance.”

“My summary prioritizes what practitioners need to act on—benchmark parity and concrete agentic capabilities like mid-trajectory self-verification—over training-process details that, while interesting, don't change the deployment decision for someone evaluating multi-step agents.”
