ERNIE X1 Turbo
Grok 4.5Wenxin Large Model X1 possesses enhanced abilities in understanding, planning, reflection, and evolution. As a more comprehensive deep-thinking model, Wenxin X1 combines accuracy, creativity, and literary elegance, excelling particularly in Chinese knowledge Q&A, literary creation, document writing, daily conversations, logical reasoning, complex calculations, and tool invocation.
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.
