Cursor just got BANNED (It's because of Elon...)Matthew Berman1 Sept 2026
Described as a very good coding model, though not at the absolute frontier like GPT-5.6. The creator expects the not-yet-released Grok 4.7 to be near-frontier.
xAI's Grok 4.6 closed LLM for reasoning and coding, available via API, Cursor and Grok Build.

About
Grok 4.6 is a proprietary language model from xAI (the vendor site is now branded SpaceXSI). According to YouTube coverage, it is xAI's top model at the time of release, roughly on par with GPT-5.6 on the Artificial Analysis index and ahead of it on GDPval and Harvey Lab, but behind on DeepSWE. Creators describe it as fast and cost-efficient, and as a strong coding model that is not quite at the absolute frontier.
It is reported to be priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. It is accessible through the xAI/Grok API, in Cursor, in Grok Build, and through Grok subscription plans. One reviewer's own benchmark ranked it 43rd, below Grok 4.5, so results vary by task. Grok 4.7 is already referenced in the vendor's API example, and creators expected it to follow shortly.
Model weights are not published. The official pages provided do not give a release date or technical details for 4.6 specifically, so benchmark figures here come from third-party commentary rather than vendor documentation.
