Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider Grok 4.6 for supervised coding and research workflows with explicit acceptance tests.

Why
External evaluations demonstrate useful capabilities, while partial completion, latency and changing served behavior limit unattended operation.
Next
Confirm endpoint support, record reasoning and harness settings, and test completion quality, retries and total cost on representative workloads.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Timeouts and variable tail latency.
  • Partial task success requires output verification.
  • Served checkpoint changes complicate reproducibility.
  • Harness and reasoning settings materially affect results.
  • Continued endpoint support requires confirmation.
