Key takeaways
- Grok 4.5 is SpaceXAI's first model trained specifically for coding and agents.
- Grok 4.5 is 3x larger than Grok 4.3 at 1.5T parameters.
- Grok 4.5 is roughly comparable to Opus 4.7, but much faster and more token-efficient.
- Grok 4.5 sits on the Pareto frontier for cost and performance.
SpaceXAI, in partnership with Cursor, has publicly launched Grok 4.5, a 1.5T parameter frontier model trained specifically for coding and agents. Positioned as an "Opus-class" model focusing on speed and cost efficiency rather than absolute benchmark supremacy, Grok 4.5 is priced at $2 per 1M input tokens and $6 per 1M output tokens. It features a 500k context window, which Elon Musk indicated will likely upgrade back to 1M soon. In evaluations by Artificial Analysis, Grok 4.5 ranked #4 on their Intelligence Index with a score of 54, demonstrating near-frontier capabilities with high token efficiency.
In their words
“We've partnered with SpaceXAI to train Grok 4.5. It’s our most powerful model yet and the first we've built for more than software engineering.”
