What you'll learn

A new model's benchmark scores don't tell you how it performs on your actual work, or what it costs to get there. In this course, Grok 4.6: A First Look, you'll learn to evaluate Grok 4.6's real-world performance, cost, and fit against other frontier models.

First, you'll explore Grok 4.6's benchmark results, pricing structure, and the long-context pricing threshold that can double your costs. Next, you'll discover how Grok performs on a live agentic coding challenge, comparing speed, cost, and code quality against Claude Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol. Finally, you'll learn how Grok handles a real-world knowledge work task, weighing the quality of its research and recommendations against the same competing models.

When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Grok 4.6 needed to judge whether it belongs in your own model lineup.
