	tl;dr: Grok 4.6 targets long-running agentic tasks, coding, and visual/interactive project generation, with xAI claiming it matches GPT-5.6 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and leads on benchmarks like Harvey LAB and CursorBench. It's available now via API, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenRouter, Vercel, and Cloudflare, priced at $2/M input and $6/M output tokens (2x for the fast variant), with 2x free usage in Cursor and Grok Build for the first week.
	HN Discussion: ↓System prompt injection is overriding user instructions and causing refusals ↓Suspicious that all labs matched Fable's capabilities within 2 months, suggesting benchmark hacking ↑Grok's concise, no-nonsense style makes it more pleasant to use than competitors ↑Grok provides healthy competition and good value at the price point ↓Skeptical of benchmarks; Grok has historically underperformed in real-world use
