Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent
Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent is tuned for collaborative agentic workflows while keeping the same 2M-token context window and multimodal support. Content policy rejections can still be charged: SpaceXAI may pass through a $0.05 moderation-failure fee, or a $0.055 usage-guidelines violation fee, depending on which rejection upstream returns.
