Please note: this model is extremely expensive and very slow. If a request fails due to network issues, you may still be charged heavily; we cannot refund charges incurred by requests to this model. GPT-5.4 pro is available in the Responses API only to enable support for multi-turn model interactions before responding to API requests, and other advanced API features in the future. Since GPT-5.4 pro is designed to tackle tough problems, some requests may take several minutes to finish. To avoid timeout, please set a longer timeout duration. It is recommended to use this under good network conditions.
GPT 5.4 Pro vs Grok 4.5
Output tokens cost $180.00 per million on GPT 5.4 Pro and $6.00 per million on Grok 4.5. Input tokens cost $30.00 per million on GPT 5.4 Pro and $2.00 per million on Grok 4.5. Cached input tokens are billed at $30.00 per million on GPT 5.4 Pro and $0.50 per million on Grok 4.5. Context lengths are 1,050,000 tokens on GPT 5.4 Pro and 500,000 tokens on Grok 4.5. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 8.6s on GPT 5.4 Pro and 1.9s on Grok 4.5. Measured output throughput is 42.0 tok/s on GPT 5.4 Pro and 26.6 tok/s on Grok 4.5.
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.

FAQ
Which is cheaper: GPT 5.4 Pro, Grok 4.5?
Grok 4.5: $6.00/M output tokens; GPT 5.4 Pro: $180.00/M. Use the cost calculator above to estimate your own workload.
Which responds faster?
Grok 4.5: 1.9s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.
How large is each context window?
GPT 5.4 Pro accepts 1,050,000 and Grok 4.5 accepts 500,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GPT 5.4 Pro and 500,000 tokens on Grok 4.5.
Which one generates tokens faster?
GPT 5.4 Pro at 42.0 tok/s and Grok 4.5 at 26.6 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
What inputs and capabilities does each model support?
GPT 5.4 Pro accepts text and image input and supports thinking, web search, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; Grok 4.5 accepts text and image input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling, structured outputs and long context.
Can I call GPT 5.4 Pro and Grok 4.5 with the same API key?
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
