Grok 4.6 hits frontier-tier intelligence (61, matching GPT-5.6 Sol, two points behind Claude Opus 5) at $2/$6 per 1M tokens — 60%+ cheaper than Opus 5's $5/$25 — and is dramatically more turn-efficient on long-horizon agentic work, averaging ~53 turns and ~0.5B input tokens versus Opus 5's ~103 turns and ~2.0B. For reasoning-heavy and multi-turn tool-use pipelines, it's now the clear Pareto pick on cost-per-task, though note cache-hit pricing rose to $0.5/1M (up from $0.3), so recompute your prompt-caching economics before switching.

Grok 4.6 achieves a score of 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching GPT-5.6 Sol's score while maintaining the same $2/$6 per 1M input/output tokens pricing, 60% lower than comparable models like Claude Opus 5; this enables cost-effective deployment of high-intelligence models for agentic knowledge work tasks.
