Grok 4.6 extends agent reasoning for multi-step work

Summary

Extended agent reasoning directly reduces iteration cycles for research, codebase analysis, and application prototyping—developers can push more complex project briefs without mid-stream model context loss. Self-testing and verification on longer trajectories cuts manual validation overhead.
