Write and analyze with Grok 4.6
Grok 4.6 succeeds Grok 4.5 at xAI, with the emphasis on long multi-step tasks: research, analyse, transform, then deliver a finished result without losing the thread. It keeps the family's direct tone, answering frankly and daring angles others round off, which suits hooks and contrarian ideas. Five-hundred-thousand-token context, images read. Its cost stays mid-range, at the same rate as its predecessor: to shake a blank page or run a text workflow in several passes, this is the Grok to choose.

It keeps the family's direct tone, answering frankly and daring angles others round off: on the canvas, it is prized for hooks, contrarian ideas and text workflows in several passes. For brand copy that must hold a line, Claude keeps it better.
