Doubao Seed 1.6 Flash
Grok 4.5Doubao-Seed-1.6-flash is an extremely fast multimodal deep thinking model, with TPOT requiring only 10ms. It supports both text and visual understanding, with its text comprehension skills surpassing the previous generation lite model and its visual understanding on par with competitor's pro series models. It supports a 256k context window and an output length of up to 16k tokens.
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.
