Grok 4.6 Mystery: No Official Trace Found Beyond Cursor Dropdown
eyishazyer · x · 2026-08-11
Despite widespread rumors about xAI rolling out Grok 4.6, a user investigation reveals a complete lack of official information, including model cards, API listings, or pricing pages.
The only physical trace is an unclickable option in Cursor's model picker. All claims regarding its 1.5 trillion parameters trace back to individual tweets rather than xAI's official channels. The author criticizes the AI industry's tendency to conflate 'rolling out' with 'confirmed'.
