Grok 4.6 is both better and cheaper.

It scores +23.4 higher and costs 13% less ($3.00/M against $3.44/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

Gemini 3.7 Flash is cheaper still (78% less) but drops 128K → 66K max output.

The same model via batch is 50% cheaper ($1.72/M) — same weights, different latency.
