SpaceX released Grok 4.5, an AI model built specifically for coding and autonomous agents, at roughly half the price of competing models from Anthropic and OpenAI. It is the first major product to come out of SpaceX's $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, completed just weeks ago. The launch is seen as a direct challenge to the dominance of ChatGPT and Claude in the AI tools market.
