Grok 4.5Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite free version: Free model resources are limited and provided only for trial use; stability cannot be guaranteed, and you may encounter 429 errors during use. If you need to use it in a production environment and require unlimited concurrency with absolute stability, please choose the official version:gemini-3.5-flash-lite.
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.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
