Overview
grok-4.3 is xAI’s frontier model on Kyma. It combines a 1M-token context window with strong reasoning and tool use, and sits in a balanced cost band — a solid pick for general work, agentic coding, and reasoning over long inputs without paying premium-tier prices.

Use this when
- You want a frontier-quality general model at a balanced price.
- You build agents that lean on tool calling across long sessions.
- You need a large (1M) context window for big codebases or documents.
- You want strong reasoning without committing to a premium cost band.
Pick something else when
- You want the strongest tool-heavy agent behavior: use
kimi-k2.6. - You need top reasoning depth: use
deepseek-v4-pro. - You want the cheapest strong default: use
qwen-3.6-plus.
