Grok 4.6
Grok 4.6 is a frontier model from Cursor and SpaceXAI for complex coding and knowledge work. It builds on Grok 4.5 with improved instruction following and long-horizon agentic work.
Strengths
- Handles long-running tasks that require using tools, checking results, and adjusting its approach.
- Works across code, documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs.
- Follows detailed instructions more reliably than Grok 4.5.
Effort levels
Grok 4.6 supports four effort levels: xhigh, high (default), medium, and low. Higher effort gives the model more time to work through difficult tasks.
Fast is the default speed tier on Pro and higher plans. On the Start plan (India only), Grok 4.6 is fixed at medium effort at standard speed.
Tools
Grok 4.6 has access to all agent tools when used with Cursor, including:
Find files by name, read directory structures, and grep for patterns.
Generate search queries and fetch results from the web.
Read file contents, including images for vision-capable models.
Suggest edits and apply them automatically.
Execute terminal commands and monitor output.
Control a browser to take screenshots, test applications, and verify visual changes. See the Browser documentation.
Generate images from text descriptions or reference images.
Ask clarifying questions while continuing to work in the background.
Retrieve rules based on type and description.
