soleio · x · 2026-08-14
Cursor team members Lauren and Roshan shared the performance of xAI's new Grok 4.6 on the CursorBench 3.2 benchmark, highlighting its massive cost-effectiveness advantage.
- Results: Grok 4.6 achieved 70.8% accuracy at just $2.81 per task, whereas Anthropic's Fable 5 Max scored 70.5% at a steep $17.32 per task.
- Team Perspective: Lauren noted that while she has unlimited tokens as an employee, most users are highly cost-conscious. Grok 4.6 offers a very compelling option—matching the intelligence of bigger models at a fraction of the cost, directly addressing the rising cost of AI in engineering.
