Unlike its predecessor, Composer 2.5, which focused on software engineering, Grok 4.5 features a broader training dataset. This includes trillions of tokens from Cursor's extensive user interactions with codebases and software tools, combined with high-quality STEM tasks and research papers.

A Foundation Built on Diverse Data

The model's architecture is a mixture-of-experts (MoE), trained on a wide array of data. This approach allows it to learn from existing software and developer-agent interactions, capturing real-world workflows.

Tackling Complex Problems with Reinforcement Learning

Grok 4.5 was trained using reinforcement learning in challenging, realistic environments. These simulations pushed the model to investigate issues, utilize tools, recover from errors, and verify outcomes, often designed to challenge even state-of-the-art models.

A distributed agent system was employed to create these demanding environments at scale, accelerating the development cycle. This system allowed engineers to specify problems and verification methods, with agents constructing and refining the scenarios.

This represents a significant advancement in AI model release capabilities.

Availability and Pricing

Grok 4.5 is accessible today through Cursor's desktop, web, iOS, and CLI interfaces. Individual and team plans offer substantial usage, with double capacity for the first week.

The base model is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. A faster variant costs $4 per million input tokens and $18 per million output tokens.

Cursor continues to offer Composer 2.5, with plans for future models in that class. The company acknowledges that Grok 4.5 had an advantage in internal CursorBench testing due to an accidental inclusion of its codebase in the training data, which has since been removed for future iterations.
