kimmonismus · x · 2026-08-12
Users have praised Grok 4.6 for showing an absolutely insane jump in performance.
According to xAI's benchmarks, Grok 4.6 matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the AA Intelligence Index at 61 and leads it on CursorBench, FrontierCode, and AA-Briefcase.
However, it still trails GPT-5.6 Sol on DeepSWE and Terminal-Bench. xAI noted that the model received a longer supplemental training run, regenerated SFT trajectories, and implemented agentic reinforcement learning.
