xAI officially launched Grok 4.5, a frontier model with 1.5 trillion parameters (1.5T)—three times that of Grok 4.3. Elon Musk calls it 'Opus-level' but faster, more token-efficient, and cheaper. Pricing: $2 per 1M input tokens, $6 per 1M output tokens, with cache hit discounts. Context window is expected to return to 1M tokens soon. Cursor co-trained Grok 4.5 and calls it the most powerful model yet, extending beyond pure software engineering. Early ecosystem support includes Grok Build/API, Hermes Agent, Portal, and OpenRouter. Developers on these platforms can immediately test Grok 4.5's agentic and coding capabilities.
