Grok 4.6 on Google Is Preview, Not a New Scoreboard
SpaceXAI posted Grok 4.6 on Google's Model Garden Aug 21. Google's card says Preview, grok-4.6, global endpoint, 13 QPM. Same $2/$6 as Bedrock. Still not a bench.

OpenAI's Aug 18 post headlines a two-week RL pause on deployment-bound models. The largest frontier RL run remains on hold. Astra may hit Critical cyber. Read the hold, not the two weeks.
Grok 4.6 is generally available on Amazon Bedrock as of Aug 19. $2/$6 per million tokens, 500k context, four reasoning settings. That is distribution. The receipts question from day one still stands.
PORTS-Pike is an 8 IT-GW OpenAI campus. NVIDIA's $105 billion 8-K number is a residual-value guarantee cap, not a check. The equity check is $1.5 billion into SB Energy.
Local AI, vibe coding, real hardware
Open-weight models on hardware I own. Grok and local agents when they earn it. Skeptical of the brochure.
