Description

I don't think anyone expected Grok 4.5 to actually be good, much less outperform Opus 4.8 and rival GPT 5.5. But these are strange times and my April prediction is finally coming back full circle and xAI is making their comeback with a model that is neck and neck with GPT-5.5, beats Opus 4.8, and sits just below Fable 5, all at ~1/5 the price and far better token efficiency. It's the best of the previous generation and just that is insanely cool. Thank you Firecrawl for sponsoring! Check them out at: https://soydev.link/firecrawl Want to sponsor a video?

Looks like Elon was able to get the data from all other models via cursor.

I have a feeling they can become the best quite quickly because of how quickly they’re building their datacenters and using them to train their new models

I have said for a couple of years now... Grok was ALWAYS going to be the obvious long term winner. Simply because on a fundamental level, they are scaling compute faster than anyone else. They have a unique (and growning) data stream with X. The cursor acquisition then gave them a catch up boost when it comes to code data.
