alt Hacker NewsHow does Grok 4.5 compare to Opus >= 4.8 though?
I'm willing to pay 2x for a 10% smarter model. Intelligence matters that much (because 10% smarter probably saves, on average, several hours of human time).

Grok is $2 in and $6 out. 4.8 is $5 in and $25 out.
It’s not as quite as smart as opus 4.8 but it’s close and x4 the cheaper.
It's a bit worse.
I haven't tried so it's pure speculation based on benchmarks, but I'd assume Grok 4.6 is around Opus 4.8 in real world use, but clearly below Opus 5.
