Grok 4.6 - MixRoute API

Grok 4.6 is xAI’s flagship model for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work. Call grok-4.6 through MixRoute using the endpoint shown below.

Key capabilities

500K context window - Handles large repositories and long-running tasks
Multimodal input - Accepts text and image input
Agentic reasoning - Supports configurable reasoning and function calling
Structured output - Produces schema-constrained responses
OpenAI-compatible - MixRoute supports both Chat Completions and Responses

The examples below use Chat Completions. MixRoute also exposes this model through the OpenAI-compatible Responses endpoint.
