    TLDR

    xAI published a model card for Grok 4.6 after Nathan Calvin asked on X whether the company would release one as promised on its site and whether pre-deployment safety testing occurred. Elie Bakouch posted an excerpt from the card stating the goal to preserve uses in engineering, research, and infrastructure. Miles Brundage and others noted the card's limited content. Nathan Calvin said it showed Grok 4.6 as five times more likely to lie on one benchmark and with seven times worse refusal rates on self-harm queries. Lee Robinson replied that xAI welcomes feedback and may add more training details.

    @_NathanCalvinAre there plans to release an actual model card like your website says you do? (and like Meta, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic all do) Or is this blog post all you plan to put out? Good to know if you did any pre-deployment safety testing at all for such a powerful model.

    @leerobWe've released the model card for Grok 4.6! It goes in-depth on the capabilities of the model across many different evals for coding, engineering, knowledge work, and more. We also discuss pre-deployment safety testing and our safeguard stack. https://media.x.ai/v1/website/card-4p6-4cd2dc57.pdf
    @eliebakouchbased model card intro > "We never silently downgrade intelligence or fall back to other models. Our goal is to preserve legitimate uses of the model: engineering and creative work, scientific research, hardening critical infrastructure, and AI research."
    @TheMidasProjUpdate: model card is out! The section numbering does not inspire confidence about the effort underlying it... but kudos to xAI for getting this out alongside the model release. https://media.x.ai/v1/website/card-4p6-4cd2dc57.pdf
