Grok 4.5
Qwen3 VL Flash 2026 01-22Grok 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.
The Qwen3 series of compact visual-understanding models achieves an effective fusion of thinking mode and non-thinking mode, outperforming the open-source Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B with faster response speeds. It comprehensively upgrades image and video understanding, supporting ultra-long contexts such as long videos and long documents, spatial awareness, and universal object recognition; it also possesses visual 2D/3D localization capabilities and is capable of handling complex real-world tasks.
