Grok 4.5

xAI · 8 July 2026

Grok 4.5, trained with Cursor, targets coding and agents. It scores 64.7% on SWE-Bench Pro and 83.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, at $2/$6 per million tokens.

A mixture-of-experts coding and agent model built jointly with Cursor on trillions of tokens of Cursor usage data. xAI claims 4.2x fewer output tokens than Claude Opus 4.8 at max effort; a codebase-snapshot leak into training data makes some scores 'optimistic' (reported).

Sources conflict on the date. DataCamp and Wikipedia say 2026-07-08 (Cursor availability), explainx says Cursor 07-08 and public 07-09, while xAI's post is dated 2026-07-16. Earliest public date used. Cursor reportedly included an earlier codebase snapshot in training data (explainx), so scores are 'optimistic until independent repro'. xAI is branded SpaceXAI since 2026-07-06 per press.
