# Grok 4.6

xAI · Proprietary · rank 28 · bench-align-v5

> Every figure below is reproduced as its upstream source published it: nothing is modelled, estimated, interpolated or converted. `Unavailable` means no source published the value — it is never a zero. Each value carries its evidence state and the date it was observed.

## Runtime service evidence

Measured values with the date they were observed. Nothing is inferred from a sibling model or a provider claim. Regional or per-endpoint measurements appear only when the API supplies them; none are modelled.

**Self-hosted listing.** xAI's August 12, 2026 release notes list grok-4.6 at $2.00 input / $0.50 cached input / $6.00 output per million tokens below 200K prompt tokens. Prompts above 200K use the published $4.00 / $1.00 / $12.00 long-context tier; BenchLM stores the short-context rate. The rates above are a hosted price matched from another provider, not a first-party list price.

## Workload-aware monthly cost example

10 conversations per day × 8 messages × 22 active days, 1200 input and 400 output tokens per message, no cache. Derived here from the published rates above by this site's own calculator — not a figure any source published.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Modelled monthly cost | $8.45 |
| Modelled tokens | 2.82M |

## Benchmark record

## Lifecycle and limitations log

Lifecycle events the source associates with this model.

No lifecycle event references this model. That is not evidence the model has no lifecycle plan — only that this source published none.

## What this profile does not claim

Values are reproduced exactly as their sources published them, in the units those sources declared; none are converted, interpolated, or averaged across providers. Any field marked unavailable was attempted and not returned. Last attempted fetch for this model's score: 2026-10-23 13:17 UTC.
