Grok 4.5
AvailableSpaceXAI's "Opus-class" agentic flagship, released July 8, 2026 — the first Grok model trained jointly with the coding startup Cursor (Anysphere), on trillions of tokens of real Cursor usage data plus STEM tasks, research papers, and other knowledge work. Targets software engineering, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, with explicit strength in legal and finance use cases (SpaceXAI claims the top spot on the Harvey Legal Agent Benchmark). A Mixture-of-Experts model reported to be built on a ~1.5-trillion-parameter "V9" foundation. Vendor benchmarks are mixed against Anthropic's Opus 4.8 — ahead on DeepSWE 1.0 and Terminal-Bench 2.1, behind on DeepSWE 1.1 and SWE-bench Pro — but markedly more token-efficient (~15,900 output tokens on SWE-bench Pro tasks, ~4.2x fewer than Opus 4.8) and served at ~80 tokens/sec. Base pricing $2/$6 per Mtok; Cursor lists a faster variant at $4/$18. Available in Grok Build (default model), Cursor (all plans), and the SpaceXAI console; initially unavailable in the EU (expected mid-July). xAI was absorbed by SpaceX in Feb 2026 and rebranded SpaceXAI.
Grok 4.3
AvailablexAI's agentic flagship with a 1M-token context and aggressive API pricing.
Grok 5
RumoredRumored next major Grok model. Elon Musk said after GPT-5's launch that Grok 5 would arrive before the end of 2025, but no broad public Grok 5 release is logged in this catalog yet.
Grok 4
DeprecatedxAI's fourth-generation Grok line, preceding the later 4.x API updates already tracked in the catalog.
Grok 3
DeprecatedxAI's third-generation model family, introduced with stronger reasoning, search, and coding modes.
Grok-2
RetiredSecond-generation Grok release with Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini for chat, coding, reasoning, and image-enabled product experiences.
Grok-1.5
RetiredGrok update with stronger reasoning and a 128K context window.
Grok-1
AvailablexAI's first Grok model, later released as open weights with a 314B-parameter MoE checkpoint.
