Grok 4.5

Model ● Covered in 18 stories + Follow

Grok 4.5 is an xAI large language model highlighted in recent coverage for its coding performance and use in long-running agent workflows. It has been used as the base model for subsequent xAI updates, including Grok 4.6—described as a post-training upgrade that extends Grok 4.5 with additional training aimed at better long-horizon behavior and higher coding benchmarks. Grok 4.5 has also been referenced in the context of agent systems and xAI’s Grok Build terminal coding agent, which uses Grok 4.5 for coding-agent tasks.
