Model Card

Grok 4.5 is xAI's flagship mixture-of-experts model, trained jointly with Cursor on trillions of tokens of real coding sessions alongside STEM, research, and knowledge-work data. Elon Musk described it as an Opus-class model, faster and more token-efficient at a lower cost than comparable frontier models.

It is tuned for coding, including Rust and C/C++, and for multi-step agentic workflows. It also handles finance and legal work, and can build multi-sheet Excel models with live web research, design diagrams in PowerPoint, and write structured documents in Word. Reasoning effort is configurable as low, medium, or high, with high as the default.

The model accepts text and image input, supports a 500,000 token context window, and includes native tool calling. At $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, it suits developers building coding agents and knowledge-work tools who need frontier-level capability without paying Opus-class pricing.

Grok Imagine Image

Grok Imagine Image is xAI's standard text-to-image generation model, built on Aurora — an autoregressive Mixture-of-Experts architecture trained on billions of text-image pairs. It accepts text prompts and optional reference images as input, producing up to 10 images per request at 1K (1024×1024) or 2K (2048×2048) resolution across 13 aspect ratios. Output formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The model is noted for strong instruction following, handling style transfer, object addition or removal, and multi-reference composition through natural language alone. It generates images quickly, making it practical for high-volume pipelines. Best suited for product mockups, marketing visuals, social media graphics, and concept art prototyping where speed and prompt adherence matter. A higher-quality variant, Grok Imagine Image Pro, is available when output fidelity is the priority.

Grok Imagine Image (Quality)

Grok Imagine Image (Quality) is xAI's high-fidelity text-to-image generation model, built on the Aurora autoregressive Mixture-of-Experts architecture rather than a diffusion backbone. It targets applications where output quality is the priority over speed — delivering more natural lighting, richer textures, and cinematic consistency compared to standard-tier image models. Text rendering in generated images is notably legible across multiple languages, addressing a historically weak area for generative image models. The API supports 1K and 2K resolutions, 13 aspect ratios, and JPEG, PNG, and WebP outputs. Up to four image candidates can be generated per request. At $0.05 per image, it is well suited for product visuals, marketing assets, brand imagery, and creative workflows that require production-ready quality.

Grok Build 0.1

Grok Build 0.1 is xAI's fast coding model trained specifically for agentic software engineering workflows. Released in May 2026 and currently in early access, it is purpose-built for interactive coding agents, tool use, and multi-step development tasks rather than general-purpose conversation. The model accepts text and image inputs and produces text output, with a 256,000-token context window. It supports function calling, structured outputs, and built-in reasoning that is always active, enabling it to think through problems before responding. Developers building AI coding agents, automated code review pipelines, or multi-step development tools will find it a strong fit. At $1/M input and $2/M output tokens, it offers an accessible price point for agentic, high-throughput use cases.
