Introducing Grok 4.6: built for long-running agents and more ambitious interactive and visual work (Cursor)
blog post · Story page
xAI's Grok 4.6 targets long-running agents and multi-step coding, research, and visual work. It matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a nine-benchmark composite, and is in Cursor and Grok Build today with 2x included usage for the first week.
In plain words
- Cursor released Grok 4.6 for tasks that require artificial intelligence to keep working through many steps.
- Its creators taught it for longer using selected reasoning examples, technical material, engineering data, and rewritten task records.
- Cursor says it can research, analyze information, edit large software projects, and turn ideas into finished applications.
- People using Cursor or Grok Build can now choose it for longer coding, research, and visual projects.
