Grok 4.6 Hits Google’s Agent Garden Two Days After Bedrock
xAI made Grok 4.6 available on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform via Model Garden at $2 / $0.50 cached / $6 per million tokens — the same list as Bedrock two days earlier — with a 500k context window and low through xhigh reasoning effort. Google-cloud distribution follows the August 12 model GA.
Correction / update, October 14, 2026: Corrected the platform name and nine-day launch interval; removed unsourced Workspace, competing-model and later Foundry claims.
Grok 4.6 reached Google’s Model Garden nine days after its first-party launch and two days after Bedrock.

Price matches Bedrock and the first-party API: $2 input / $0.50 cached / $6 output per million tokens. Context 500k; effort low, medium, high, xhigh. This is Google-cloud distribution, two days after Amazon Bedrock and following the August 12 model GA.
