The company said Grok 4.5 was trained using thousands of advanced graphics processing units (GPUs), with a strong focus on improving data quality through extensive filtering, deduplication, and rigorous evaluation of training datasets.
xAI also revealed that Cursor, a leading AI-powered coding platform, partnered with the company during the training and development of Grok 4.5 to enhance its programming capabilities.
The new model is now available through Grok Build, Cursor, and xAI s developer platform, while availability across the European Union is expected later this month.
Competitive Pricing
According to xAI, Grok 4.5 is priced at $2 per one million input tokens and $6 per one million output tokens, positioning it as a cost-effective option for developers and enterprise users.
Commenting on the launch, Elon Musk, founder of xAI, said in a post on X that Grok 4.5 delivers higher performance, faster response times, lower operating costs, and improved efficiency in token usage.
Growing Competition in the AI Market
The launch comes as competition in the artificial intelligence industry continues to intensify, with leading technology companies racing to develop more capable and affordable large language models (LLMs).
Industry rivals have also introduced premium AI models with varying pricing structures. According to the information provided, Anthropic s Claude Opus 4.8 is priced at $5 per one million input tokens and $25 per one million output tokens, while OpenAI s GPT-5.6 is listed at $1 per one million input tokens and $6 per one million output tokens.
In AI services, input tokens refer to the text, code, or other data submitted by users, while output tokens are the responses generated by the AI model.
