Model details

Grok 4.5

Grok 4.5 is a proprietary mixture-of-experts reasoning model released on July 8, 2026, aimed squarely at coding workflows, autonomous agent tasks, and general knowledge work. It was developed through a joint training effort with Cursor, absorbing trillions of tokens drawn from real developer and agent interactions, which shapes its orientation toward tool-driven, multi-step problem solving rather than pure conversational use. Independent reviewers note that SpaceXAI's published benchmark charts for Grok 4.5 show mixed results rather than a clean sweep of category wins, reflecting a design that prioritizes task-completion efficiency over per-task token cost in agent settings.

On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a composite of nine benchmarks, Grok 4.5 High registered a score of 56, placing it behind the contemporaneous Fable 5 Max (62) and ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol Max on the chart, though SpaceXAI's own charts frame it as competitive across agentic coding and knowledge work evaluations. As of August 12, 2026, Grok 4.5 has been succeeded by Grok 4.6, which builds on the same lineage with an emphasis on long-running agents and more ambitious interactive and visual work, leaving Grok 4.5 as a capable but non-frontier member of the family well suited to teams that want proven agent and code-generation behavior at a step below the latest release.
