xAI Releases "Grok 4.5" β€” Fast and Low-Cost, Built for Coding and Agentic Tasks

#Grok#xAI#coding

xAI released a new model, β€œGrok 4.5.” Purpose-built for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, it was co-developed with Cursor and trained on large-scale data spanning coding, science, engineering, and mathematics.

Details

  • Benchmarks: Achieved a 64.7% resolve rate on SWE Bench Pro, and 29.0% on SWE Marathon β€” the top score among competitors
  • Token efficiency: Handles equivalent tasks using roughly 4.2x fewer tokens than Opus 4.8. Processing speed of 80 tokens per second puts it on par with fast models
  • Strengths: Handles a wide range of tasks, from complex coding work involving Rust and C/C++ to office document creation in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word
