Cached input tokens are billed at $0.50 per million on Grok 4.5 and $0.02 per million on Qwen3.6 Flash. Context lengths are 500,000 tokens on Grok 4.5 and 991,000 tokens on Qwen3.6 Flash. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 1.9s on Grok 4.5 and 0.9s on Qwen3.6 Flash. Measured output throughput is 26.9 tok/s on Grok 4.5 and 130.6 tok/s on Qwen3.6 Flash.
Grok 4.5
Qwen3.6 FlashGrok 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.
Qwen 3.6, the native vision-language Plus series model, demonstrates outstanding performance comparable to the current top cutting-edge models, with a significant improvement over the 3.5 series. The model's capabilities have been markedly enhanced in Agentic coding, front-end programming, Vibe coding and other coding abilities, universal multimodal recognition, OCR, object localization, and more.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
