Output tokens cost $6.00 per million on Grok 4.5 and $0.57 per million on Hy3 Preview. Input tokens cost $2.00 per million on Grok 4.5 and $0.17 per million on Hy3 Preview. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.50 per million on Grok 4.5 and $0.05 per million on Hy3 Preview. Context lengths are 500,000 tokens on Grok 4.5 and 256,000 tokens on Hy3 Preview. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 1.7s on Grok 4.5 and 2.1s on Hy3 Preview. Measured output throughput is 25.3 tok/s on Grok 4.5 and 40.2 tok/s on Hy3 Preview. On the LMArena coding leaderboard Grok 4.5 scores 1523 and Hy3 Preview scores 1504.
Grok 4.5
Hy3 PreviewGrok 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.
Hunyuan Hy3 preview is designed for agent workloads, adopting a MoE architecture with 295B capacity and 21B activated parameters. It provides three modes within the same model—no_think (ultra-fast response), think_low (fast thinking), and think_high (deep reasoning)—to accommodate different latency and depth requirements from high-frequency interactions to complex engineering tasks. On code benchmarks such as SWE-bench Verified it approaches the current state of the art, and its 256K context supports cross-file code refactoring and long-document analysis. It is suitable for developers who require reliable task completion while being sensitive to inference costs.
