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.
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.
