SpaceXAI Releases Grok 4.6: A 500K-Context Frontier Model Tuned for Long-Running Agents, Coding, and Knowledge Work
SpaceXAI just released Grok 4.6. The release is a post-training upgrade over Grok 4.5 rather than a larger base model. SpaceXAI held the foundation constant and spent the improvement on a longer supplemental training run, regenerated supervised fine-tuning trajectories, and reinforcement learning in agentic environments. Agents that stay on a task across many steps without drifting. Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, up five points from Grok 4.5 and tied with GPT-
SpaceXAI released Grok 4.6, a large language model that can process 500,000 context tokens and is designed for long-running tasks, coding work, and knowledge-intensive applications. The update focused on training improvements rather than increasing the base model size, including longer supplemental training, regenerated fine-tuning data, and reinforcement learning in agent environments. The model is available through multiple platforms including an API, Cursor, and Grok Build, with pricing of $2 per million input tokens for standard requests. On performance benchmarks, Grok 4.6 ties with GPT-5.6 Sol Max on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index but trails behind on some coding-specific benchmarks like DeepSWE and Terminal-Bench.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
