Grok 4.5 is now available as an orchestrator model in Computer for Consumer Pro and Max subscribers. We evaluated it against five other orchestrator configurations on WANDR. It scored higher than every other configuration at roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8.
Grok 4.5 with Grok Build just ranked #1 on the SWE-Atlas-QnA benchmark with a score of 84 That puts it level with GPT-5.6 (max) Codex and ahead of Claude Code Fable 5 (max), Opus 4.8 (max), and every other tested coding setup Grok Build is now the most powerful harness for agentic developer workflows
Grok 4.5 just did what no other lab has managed: pushed the limits of frontier intelligence AND made it accessible to everyone. Hopefully this shifts the AI race toward winning on cost too -> frontier intelligence for all, not just the few. Huge respect to the @SpaceXAI team. This one changes who gets to build.
Grok 4.5 is the top non-Anthropic model on AA-Briefcase, combining frontier agentic knowledge work capabilities with leading cost and time-efficiency Yesterday @SpaceXAI released Grok 4.5, a new frontier-level model with strengths in agentic coding and knowledge work. On AA-Briefcase, Grok 4.5 scores 1328, a +578 improvement over Grok 4.3 and the highest score of any non-Anthropic model (note that GPT-5.6 not released yet). It achieves this while sitting on the cost and time efficiency frontier, averaging $1.12 per task, 86% lower than Claude Opus 4.8 (max), and 12.4 minutes per task, around half the time of Opus 4.8 (max). AA-Briefcase is our new proprietary benchmark for agentic knowledge work, testing models on a fully private dataset of realistic tasks across thousands of complex input files. Tasks require deliverables like spreadsheets, presentations, and UI mock-ups, with performance combined into a single AA-Briefcase Elo across correctness, analytical quality, and presentation quality. Key results for Grok 4.5 with high reasoning on AA-Briefcase: ➤ Frontier agentic knowledge work capabilities: Grok 4.5 achieves an AA-Briefcase Elo of 1328, the highest score of any non-Anthropic model, behind only Claude Fable 5 (1390), Claude Sonnet 5 (max, 1390), and Claude Opus 4.8 (max, 1354). Across the three AA-Briefcase scoring axes, Grok 4.5 is strongest on objective rubric criteria and analytical quality, with comparatively weaker presentation quality. It achieves the second-highest overall rubric pass rate (40.7%), behind Claude Fable 5 (56%) and Claude Sonnet 5 (42.3%) ➤ Leading cost efficiency: Grok 4.5 averages a cost of $1.12 per AA-Briefcase task, placing it on the cost-performance Pareto frontier. This is much most cost effective than peer models such as Claude Opus 4.8 (max, $8.26) and GLM 5.2 (max, $1.71) ➤ Faster task completion: Grok 4.5 averages 12.4 minutes per AA-Briefcase task, also placing it on the speed-performance frontier. It is much faster than Claude Opus 4.8 (max, 23.9 min) and Claude Sonnet 5 (max, 36.9 min), primarily due to lower turn use. Grok 4.5 averages just 23 turns per task, ~40% of GLM 5.2 (max, 56) and ~13% of Claude Sonnet 5 (max, 183) Congratulations to @SpaceXAI, @cursor_ai, and @elonmusk on the impressive release!
