Grok 4.6 under 200k. Grok Bot is ops, not a model. I missed the August 12 Grok 4.6 pin. Today I pin grok-4.6, stay under 200k unless I mean to double the whole request, and I will not invent a Fast API ID. Pin cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh-fast as the Cursor Task default. Omit model and you inherit the parent. Never send that slug to api.x.ai — pin grok-4.6 there.
