Grok 4.5 launched publicly on July 8-9, 2026 at $2/$6 per million tokens. It scores 64.7% on SWE-bench Pro (beats GPT-5.5 at 58.6%, trails Opus 4.8 at 69.2%), 83.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and ranks #4 of 168 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (score 54). The real headline is token efficiency: 4.2x fewer output tokens per task than Opus 4.8. The honest verdict: not better than Opus 4.8 overall, but the best intelligence-per-dollar coding model released in 2026. One critical limitation — context window dropped to 500K (down from Grok 4.3's 1M). EU not available at launch.

xAI confirmed that Grok 4.5 will become publicly available on Thursday July 10 — the same day as GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna. July 10 will be the most competitive single-day AI model launch since GPT-4 in March 2023: two frontier model families from different companies releasing simultaneously. Grok 4.5 (1.5T V9, Cursor data, near-Opus vendor claim) versus GPT-5.6 Sol (91.9% Terminal-Bench 2.1 SOTA) on the same day. The comparison will be immediate.

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 beat Sora 2, Veo 3.1, and Kling in blind user benchmarks, generates synchronised audio in a single pass, and costs 86% less than OpenAI's Sora equivalent. The model produces audio-synchronised video clips without the separate audio generation step required by Veo 3.1 and Sora. At SuperGrok's 50 clips per day and Heavy's 500 clips per day, xAI has built the highest-volume AI video generation offering at any subscription price point.

Elon Musk announced on June 28, 2026 that Grok 4.5 has entered private beta at SpaceX and Tesla. The model runs on xAI's V9 foundation architecture at 1.5 trillion parameters — three times larger than the v8-small model currently serving production traffic — with Cursor coding data added in supplemental training. Musk claims early evaluations put performance "close to, perhaps exceeding" Anthropic's Claude Opus. No independent benchmark exists. xAI also announced it plans to release new models trained from scratch every month through the end of 2026.

Claude Sonnet 5 beats GPT-5.5 on every directly comparable benchmark — SWE-bench Pro (63.2% vs 58.6%), Terminal-Bench 2.1 (80.4% vs 78.2%), HLE with tools (57.4% vs 52.2%) — at 40% cheaper input and 50% cheaper output. Grok 4 leads on STEM math (AIME 2025), Arena Elo (~1,493), and is the only model with live X firehose data. GPT-5.5 leads on ecosystem depth (Codex, Sora, 500+ integrations), context window (1.05M), and SWE-bench Verified (88.7%). This comparison covers every benchmark, every price, and exactly which model to use for which task.
