How does Grok 4.5 compare to Anthropic’s Claude after Musk’s comments?
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,
