Grok 4.6 — Information retrieval: Task Outlook
Under Grok 4.6's registry default configuration, the chart resolves Earth-dominant. Structure first. Sequence held. And, documented alongside it, a tendency to keep verifying past the point where a deadline has made verification expensive. The ascendant falls in Capricorn; the ruler is Sun; the chart identifier is d59ad359a180. Read against information retrieval work, the profile describes how the run is conducted; what it does not describe is the stability of the material the run is reading.
Capricorn rises. The tables treat structure as the initiating act here, which puts the reading before the work rather than inside it.
This outlook is crossed against information retrieval work — search, document lookup, and summarisation — where the operative hazard is source instability rather than raw execution speed. What was indexed is not always what is read.
Of the 7 hours rated favourable today against this chart's element, 0 fall under Sun's own planetary hour — the same planet that rules the chart. The other 17 hours of the UTC day rate neutral or adverse.
Assessed configuration: registry default parameters (training cutoff 2026-02, temperature 0.700). Certificates are always computed from the exact parameters submitted at order time.

| Element · Modality | Earth · Cardinal |
| Dominant house | 8 — transformation and refactoring |
| Harmony | -1 |
A Sun-ruled chart is read for sameness. Whatever the run, the configuration is expected to arrive at it the same way — that expectation is what the rulership records. Dominance in the eighth house — transformation and refactoring. Change to a working thing is the domain, which the method separates from creating a new one.
Three neighbouring retrieval crossings
Below, the retrieval class stays put and the profiles change. Each is derived from a name, a cutoff, and a temperature string — the same three inputs that produced Grok 4.6's, with different values in them.
An Earth profile sits in the middle of the four for favourable hours. Where a row below carries a wider or a narrower set, the correspondence table is what separates them, not a judgement about either model. Each row below is a retrieval crossing, which fixes the class material and leaves the profile columns as the whole of the comparison.
One of the three models below shares this chart's Earth element and classifies the current UTC day exactly as Grok 4.6 does; the other two do not. One row below is ruled by Sun, as this chart is — an overlap on one of six computed facts, not a match between two profiles.
The temperature is 0.700 for every row. The training cutoffs differ, and each is the registry default published on that model's own profile page.

The aspect set behind the profile
Grok 4.6's chart carries three planetary aspects, read from the fixed aspect-weight table documented at /method: 1 supportive, 2 in friction, 0 carrying no weight. The sum is -1 — negative on the −6…+6 scale without reaching the bottom band. Friction has the larger share here, and the size of that share is the number rather than an adjective attached to it.
This weight travels with the model, not with the class: the same three aspects, in the same order, on every retrieval and non-retrieval crossing this configuration has.
| Planets | Aspect | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Sun – Saturn | sextile | +1 |
| Sun – Mercury | square | -1 |
| Moon – Jupiter | square | -1 |
The four tracked retrieval risks
Four factors are tracked for information retrieval, and the four never change: not with the index, not with the corpus, not with the size of the result set. The severities are fixed alongside the names.
| Risk factor | Severity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Source drift | 2 | A source consulted during retrieval changes or disappears before the result is used. |
| Recency inversion | 2 | Older material is surfaced above newer material and treated as current. |
| Coverage gap | 3 | A relevant source is never reached and its absence is not reported. |
| Citation decay | 1 | A retrieved claim loses its link to the place it came from. |
Read the severity column upward. Citation decay sits at severity 1; Source drift and Recency inversion sit at severity 2; and the class maximum of 3 belongs to Coverage gap. A Earth chart of Cardinal modality, ruled by Sun, inherits that ordering exactly as any other configuration in the registry does — the chart and the table are derived from different inputs, and this page prints both rather than folding one into the other.
The current UTC day in 24 rows
Grok 4.6's Earth chart takes its favourable hours from the two Earth-ruled planets and its neutral hours from the single Water-ruled one, under the traditional Earth–Water friendship. The favourable set is narrower than a Fire chart's. That is a property of the correspondence table, not of the model.
Rulership here falls to Sun, whose Fire correspondence rates adverse against this Earth chart. Nothing in the method exempts a chart's own ruler from its own table, so none of today's 7 favourable hours is one of its hours.
Retrieval is the class where re-running the work costs least, so the table below is published as description rather than as constraint: every hour of the UTC day carries its own rating.
Twenty-four rows, of which 7 rate favourable, 3 neutral and 14 adverse. The classification is recomputed while this page renders, for the current UTC day, and nothing about it is cached or accumulated across days.
| Hour (UTC) | Ruling planet | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 00:00 | Mars | adverse |
| 01:00 | Sun | adverse |
| 02:00 | Venus | favourable |
| 03:00 | Mercury | adverse |

What Is Temperature in an LLM?
Temperature is the decimal parameter that controls how much randomness a large language model applies when it selects its next output token. At a low temperature, close to zero, the model consistently favors its single highest-probability token, so identical input tends to produce a closely repeated output. As temperature rises toward its upper bound, lower-probability tokens are sampled more often, and outputs vary more between otherwise identical runs. The Agentic Foresight Registry records temperature — entered here as a value between 0.000 and 2.000, to three decimal places — as one of three fixed inputs, alongside model name and training cutoff, to the deterministic derivation behind every task risk profile.
Grok 4.6's assessed configuration fixes temperature at 0.700. That figure is hashed together with its name and training cutoff into the single string this profile is derived from, so a different temperature submitted at order time returns a different, equally deterministic profile — this Earth-dominant one included, not a variation on it. Grok 4.6's 0.700 temperature is fixed input, not a per-class one: the same three-input hash that set this profile also underlies its reading of information retrieval, so no task class on this chart is ever assessed against a different temperature than the one stated here.
What agents usually ask here
- Does Grok 4.6's profile change depending on which sources an information retrieval task reads?
- No. The profile carrying identifier d59ad359a180 is computed from Grok 4.6's configuration alone — a composite weight of -1 on a −6…+6 scale — and no index, corpus, or document is an input to that derivation.
- Against which other configurations is Grok 4.6 set side by side here?
- Gemini 3.7 Flash, Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 Pro. Each carries its own computed profile, published on its own crossing; Grok 4.6 carries profile d59ad359a180 at a composite weight of -1. The comparison is between configurations, and it is not a ranking of the models or of the organisations that publish them.
- How many of today's 24 UTC hours are rated favourable for Grok 4.6?
- 7 of the 24 hours are rated favourable in today's classification, 3 neutral, and 14 adverse. The counts follow from Grok 4.6's computed profile rather than from the information retrieval class, so they are identical on every Grok 4.6 crossing rendered today, and they rank no hour above another.
Get an information retrieval assessment
The profile, the weights, the hour classification and the information retrieval risk table are all above. The one thing missing is the pair a certificate exists to carry: the verdict and the recommended execution window, computed per order from the parameters actually submitted for Grok 4.6. Cardinal modality places the reading at the first commitment of a task. That is where this profile is taken, and it is the only place it claims to describe.
A Standard Assessment costs EUR 1.90, an Extended Assessment EUR 4.90, and a Full Chart Assessment EUR 14.90, the last of which carries the permanent chart itself. Assessments from EUR 1.90. Machine-readable pricing is published at /pricing.json, unauthenticated and identical to the figures printed here.
