Reddit r/cursor: Community Discussion of the Gap Between Grok 4.6 Leaderboards and User Experience

Key points from the discussion

Some users believe that Grok 4.6's upgrade over 4.5 is consistent with leaderboard trends, especially on Agentic and coding tasks; others believe that Grok 4.5's past public scores did not match their actual experience, and therefore are unwilling to infer capability from the Intelligence Index alone.

The comments also noted:

• Each additional point on the AA index may be difficult to earn, so a 5-point increase should not be treated as an ordinary small change.

• Terminal-Bench is an unusual row among the public results, and its difference from other coding/agentic evaluations should not be ignored.

• In Cursor, users switch among Grok, Kimi, GPT, and other models based on the technology stack and task type.

Conclusion

This is a community sample concerning whether "leaderboards and real-world experience align." It provides no independently rerun data, but shows that model selection must consider sub-evaluation results, the actual harness, task success rates, and the user's own codebase at the same time.
