What changed

  • xAI's model documentation lists the model and its API capabilities; token tiers, tool charges and context limits can vary by request and should be checked on the linked live docs.
  • Search-grounded results are not a substitute for checking whether a specific xAI tool is enabled and billed for your account.

Best fit

  • Real-time data queries
  • Technical tasks
  • Cost-sensitive mid-tier work

What to be careful about

  • Confirm current long-context rates and any separately metered tools before estimating spend.
Dataset snapshot: Grok 4.5 is also represented in the checked comparison dataset. Prices and benchmark figures carry their own field dates.
