Grok 4.5 is SpaceXAI's frontier reasoning model for coding, knowledge work, and STEM. It supports text, image, and file inputs with tool calling and structured outputs. Reasoning is always active. 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.
