SITUATION EXPLAINED: How did Grok catch up this fast?
• Grok 4.5 scored 56 on the Artificial Analysis index five weeks ago. Grok 4.6 scores 61, one behind Fable, at the same price
• SOTA on knowledge work and legal, beating Fable on GDPval and Sol on Harvey LAB by 13 points
@ml_angelopoulos: "Grok 4.6 is a Sol-quality model, at a fraction of the price. Grok $6 vs Sol $30"
@schisofrenia: "Now that the frontier labs can't release anything because, ooh, scary, close to critical capability thresholds, forget Chinese companies, all of the American companies are racing to close the gap."
