We present preliminary results of the running of the coupling in SU(2) gauge theory with 6 massless fundamental representation fermion flavors. We measure the coupling using the gradient flow method with Schr\"odinger functional boundary conditions. The results are consistent with the perturbation theory in the weak coupling and we see an indication of an infrared fixed point at strong coupling.
