    Excerpt
    Grok 4.5: a new competitor to GPT and Claude Posting this a little late, but I prepared something interesting. Grok 4.5 is temporarily available to test for free in Grok Build and Cursor. The model runs at around 80 tokens per second, supports a context window of up to 500,000 tokens, and costs $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. According to Musk, Grok 4.5 was trained from scratch on SpaceXAI’s own foundation and is not built on top of Kimi like Composer. In terms of quality, Grok 4.5 comes close to GPT-5.6 Terra, while its pricing is closer to Luna. Among Anthropic models, it sits between Haiku and Sonnet, making it especially attractive in terms of price-to-pe
