Grok 4.5

xAI's Grok 4.5, trained alongside Cursor for coding and office work, served at 80 tokens a second.

What is Grok 4.5?

Grok 4.5 was xAI's smartest model at its July 16, 2026 launch, built for coding, agent tasks and knowledge work and trained alongside Cursor.

xAI says it is served at about 80 tokens per second and is roughly twice as token-efficient as comparable models, and reaches results in about half as many steps as other frontier models. It also handles Excel, PowerPoint and Word work, from multi-sheet models with web research to native PowerPoint diagrams. It takes text and images with a 500K-token context window. Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.7 have followed it.
