Grok 4.5
Llama 4 MaverickGrok 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.
Llama 4 Maverick is a high-capacity Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Meta, featuring 400B total parameters and 128 experts, while activating an efficient 17B parameters per inference. Engineered for peak performance, it excels at advanced multimodal tasks. Maverick natively supports text and image input, producing multilingual text and code. With a 1-million-token context window and instruction tuning, it is optimized for complex image reasoning and general-purpose assistant-like interactions. Released under the Llama 4 Community License, Maverick is ideal for research and commercial applications demanding state-of-the-art multimodal understanding and high throughput.
