> xAI announced Grok 4.6 on Amazon Bedrock at the same $2 / $0.50 cached / $6 per million tokens as its first-party API, with a 500k context window and low, medium, high and xhigh reasoning effort.

**Correction / update, October 14, 2026:** Removed unverified contract and historical platform claims; the announcement supports model availability, supported regions, context, effort and pricing.

Grok 4.6’s Bedrock release gives AWS developers another route to the model, one week after its first-party launch.

**xAI** put **Grok 4.6** on **Amazon Bedrock** as **general availability** for developers in supported **AWS Regions**. Pricing matches the lab API: **$2 input / $0.50 cached input / $6 output** per million tokens. Context **500k**; reasoning effort **low, medium, high, xhigh**. This is **cloud distribution** of the **August 12** model.
