Grok 4.6 Launches on GitHub Copilot, Targets Developers

Grok 4.6, an AI coding model from xAI, has launched on GitHub Copilot, making it available to millions of developers using Visual Studio Code and GitHub's ecosystem.

This marks a significant addition to the AI coding space as Grok 4.6 aims to improve performance across complex programming tasks.

Developers can access Grok 4.6 by selecting it in the model picker within GitHub Copilot, with enterprise users requiring additional steps through Copilot's settings.

The model is also available via the SpaceXAI console, priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, making it a competitive option for intensive programming workloads.

Grok 4.6 enters a highly competitive environment, with performance on par with OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Max and ranking just below Anthropic's Fable 5 Max on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.
