The post How does Grok 4.5 compare to Anthropic’s Claude after Musk’s comments? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SpaceXAI recently released a new version of its AI chatbot called Grok 4.5. This is a coding-focused model that Elon Musk pitched as an “Opus-class” rival to Anthropic’s Claude at a fraction of the cost.  Considering the rising cost of AI usage, engineering teams are now prioritizing price per completed task over peak intelligence.  Does Grok’s new model outperform Claude Opus 4.8? Elon Musk, in a post on X, described the newly launched Grok 4.5 as “an Opus-class model” that is faster and more cost-efficient. The model is designed for coding and other complex tasks.  Musk followed up after the launch with a second post, writing, “Looks like Grok 4.5 is #1 on at least a few benchmarks. Better than expected.” SpaceXAI (NASDAQ: SPCX) lists Grok 4.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than using Anthropic’s models,

The post Eightco Holdings (ORBS) Reveals $397M Crypto-AI Treasury: 16K ETH And 283M WLD appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Public markets rarely get a direct window into a company’s crypto conviction. Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) just pried that window open. The firm’s July 8 snapshot shows total holdings of roughly $397 million, a figure built from an unusual mix of AI equity stakes and liquid crypto assets. The treasury includes an indirect $90 million position in OpenAI, $18 million in Beast Industries, 16,278 ETH, and 283 million WLD tokens—valued at $149 million at the time of disclosure. For a Nasdaq-listed entity, the composition reads less like a traditional balance-sheet hedge and more like a concentrated bet on AI infrastructure and on-chain identity. The Ethereum stack alone is large enough to place Eightco among the more exposed public-company ETH holders, even if it still trails dedicated crypto treasury companies by a wide margin. Meanwhile, the Worldcoin (WLD) posit
