Grok 4.6 on Google Is Preview, Not a New Scoreboard

Published: August 24, 2026

SpaceXAI posted Aug 21: Grok 4.6 is on Google Enterprise Agent Platform through Model Garden.

Key takeaways

  • SpaceXAI posted Aug 21: Grok 4.6 is on Google Enterprise Agent Platform through Model Garden.
  • Google's own card calls it Preview. Model ID grok-4.6. Global endpoint. 13 queries per minute. Standard pay-as-you-go is not supported.
  • SpaceXAI's price is still $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output. That is a buy path. It is not a new measurement.

Local LLMs on NVIDIA Spark / ASUS GX10

Grok 4.6 landed on Google two days after Bedrock. SpaceXAI posted it Aug 21. Google's card says the same date.

The names do not even match. SpaceXAI calls it Google Enterprise Agent Platform. Google's docs call it Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Both point at Model Garden. The model ID is grok-4.6.

Local AI Model Tracker (2026)

Google's instrument is Preview. Function calling, structured output, and reasoning are preview. Batch is not supported. Standard pay-as-you-go is not supported. Provisioned throughput is not supported. What is supported is a fixed quota on the global endpoint: 13 queries per minute, 188,000 input tokens per minute, 16,000 output tokens per minute. Context on that table is 524,288. SpaceXAI still prints 500k, with reasoning set to low, medium, high, or xhigh.

SpaceXAI's price on that post is the same one they put on Bedrock: $2 per million input tokens, $0.50 cached, $6 per million output. I am using their figure, not a reseller card.

That is how an enterprise finds Grok inside a Google login. It is not a new bench.

I already wrote the Bedrock note. AWS called that listing generally available. Google did not. Preview plus 13 QPM is a garden row, not a scoreboard. The day-one hole is still there: fantastic pricing is credible, "Sonnet-class" is not, not without metrics. A second cloud SKU does not fill it.

I run Grok when it earns it, and a GX10 when I want the weights in the room. This listing sits on the cloud side of that split. Receipts against Cursor Ultra still have not shown up. Not inventing them.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, as a partner model. SpaceXAI's note is dated Aug 21, 2026. Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform card lists grok-4.6 with a release date of August 21, 2026, launch stage Preview.

SpaceXAI lists $2 per million input tokens, $0.50 cached, and $6 per million output tokens on that Google post. I am using SpaceXAI's figure. Google's card says see pricing and does not support standard pay-as-you-go on this listing.

No. It is another catalog. Bedrock on Aug 19 was generally available. This one is Preview. The model is the same flagship SpaceXAI shipped on Aug 12.
