How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
Grok 4.5 ranks #10 of 224 on the public leaderboard with a score of 75.19/100. Its source-verified position is #10 of 104.
Grok 4.5 is a proprietary model with a 500K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Tracked from xAI's official Grok 4.5 API model documentation and July 8, 2026 launch post. xAI lists model name grok-4.5, aliases grok-4.5-latest and grok-build-latest, text and image input with text output, reasoning support, function calling, structured outputs, 500K context, us-east-1/us-west-2 availability, and 150 requests/sec plus 50M tokens/minute rate limits. BenchLM maps exact launch rows for Terminal-Bench 2.1, SWE-bench Pro, and DeepSWE 1.1, plus Cursor's launch-row SWE-bench Multilingual result and CursorBench v3.2 High row. Cursor notes Grok 4.5 has an advantage on CursorBench v3.2 because an earlier Cursor codebase snapshot was accidentally included in training, so BenchLM keeps the CursorBench row display-only and caveated. Grok 4.5 remains ranking-ineligible until the launch rows are fully normalized against BenchLM's weighted model-only rules.
Its explicit predecessor is Grok 4.3. 10 of 402 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Its strongest eligible category is Agentic at #14, while its lowest eligible position is Coding at #39. particularly useful for coding agents, browser research, and computer-use workflows.

Frequently asked questions
How does Grok 4.5 perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Grok 4.5 ranks #10 out of 224 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 75.19/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 10 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is Grok 4.5 good for coding and programming?
Grok 4.5 ranks #39 out of 141 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 57.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is Grok 4.5 good for reasoning and logic?
Grok 4.5 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is Grok 4.5 good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
Grok 4.5 ranks #14 out of 137 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 61.5/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Does Grok 4.5 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Grok 4.5 currently has 27 source-displayable rows across 402 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Grok 4.5?
Grok 4.5 has a reported context window of 500K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
Last updated August 22, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
