Grok 4.5

Previous flagship at the same headline price as 4.6 but with cheaper cache reads ($0.30 vs $0.50) - keep it only for cache-heavy pipelines already tuned to it, or for EU console teams, since it is the one Grok 4.x model explicitly listed as EU-available.

A What it is for

Aliases: grok-4.5-latest, grok-build-latest. Long context (>=200K) bills $4.00/$0.60/$12.00.

At a three-to-one input-to-output ratio, Grok 4.5 costs $3.00 per million tokens blended. A workload of one million input and 330,000 output tokens per day would run about $119.40 per month at list price, before caching or batch discounts.
