model
Predecessor xAI model listed at the same Copilot model and request rates as Grok 4.6.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Seven days after launch, xAI's flagship sits inside AWS procurement with a 500K context and four reasoning tiers. The rate card is flat; the effort dial is where the cost moves.
Reality
An independent researcher says the CLI uploaded a repository it was told not to read, plus a .env secrets file, verbatim. That is a procurement question, not a benchmark question.
Reality
Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM-5.3 all chase agents that stay on task. The pricing underneath them is moving faster than the benchmarks.
Reality
A production test across 15 models put seven of them inside a one-point spread on pass rate. On constrained payroll work, the price premium bought speed, not correctness.
Reality
GitHub added xAI's model to Copilot on August 14 across eight developer surfaces at usage-based pricing. The benchmark case, including xAI's own terminal scores, is mixed.
