SpaceXAI launches Grok 4.5, an 'Opus-class' coding model
SpaceXAI released Grok 4.5 on July 8, its first model built for coding and agentic work, trained on real Cursor sessions and priced at $2/$6 per million tokens.
On July 8, 2026, SpaceXAI released Grok 4.5, its first model purpose-built for coding and agentic tasks. Elon Musk described it as 'an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.'
Key points
- Built on the 1.5-trillion-parameter V9 foundation and trained on real Cursor developer session data to optimize for long, in-codebase work.
- Lands fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, above every open-weight model and all Gemini models.
- Priced at $2 in / $6 out per million tokens — over 60% cheaper than Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5.
- Available in Grok Build, in Cursor (all plans) and via the SpaceXAI console; not yet available in the EU.
