ERNIE 4.5 Turbo VL
Grok 4.5The new version of the Wenxin Yiyan large model significantly improves capabilities in image understanding, creation, translation, and coding. It supports a context length of up to 32K tokens for the first time, with a notable reduction in the latency of the first token.
Grok 4.5 was trained on datasets spanning knowledge in coding, science, engineering, and math. With both intelligent and efficient reasoning, Grok 4.5 excels at real engineering tasks and exceeds comparable leading models at these tasks.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
