Testing Grok 4.6: Decent Coding Skills but Unusual Vocabulary
Aizkmusic · x · 2026-08-13
Following hands-on testing, a developer noted that Grok 4.6 is a decent model. While its coding capabilities don't quite reach Fable's level and it shouldn't be run in production yet, Grok is entering the ring and putting up a fight.
The author also observed that the model sometimes uses unusual vocabulary, such as "proscenium," during generation.
