This model is deprecated. We still benchmark its performance, but less often: every 18 hours instead of every 6.

SpaceXAI has launched a newer release, Grok 4.5. We suggest considering it instead.

Pricing

Cost per Intelligence Index Task: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Weighted average cost (USD) per Intelligence Index task · Segmented by token type · Lower is better

No data available

Weighted average cost per Intelligence Index task. Each evaluation’s cost is calculated from input, cache hit, cache write, reasoning, and answer token prices, divided by task count, and weighted by its Intelligence Index weight.

Pricing: Cache Hit, Input, and Output: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Price (USD per M Tokens) · Lower is better

Price per token for cached prompts (previously processed), typically offering a significant discount compared to regular input price, represented as USD per million tokens. The values shown here are the cache hit price; cache write and cache storage are billed separately and vary by provider — see "Cache pricing by provider" for detail.

Output Speed vs. Cost per Task: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Output speed: output tokens divided by total request time, including time to first token · Weighted average cost (USD) per Intelligence Index task

Most attractive quadrant

No data available

Output tokens, including reasoning tokens, received per second over a request's full duration, from sending the request to receiving the final token. The headline value averages each Performance v3 workload over the past 5 days, then averages the workloads.

Speed

Average of the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured

Output Speed: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Output tokens divided by total request time · Includes time to first token · Average of the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured · Higher is better

Speed and latency metrics average each endpoint's runs over the past 5 days, and the error rate pools them. We run the benchmark every 6 hours, and endpoints of deprecated models every 18 hours.

Latency

Average of the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured

Time to First Answer Token: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Seconds until the first answer token after any reasoning · Average of the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured · Lower is better

Time to first answer token received, in seconds, after API request sent. For reasoning models, this includes the 'thinking' time of the model before providing an answer. For models which do not support streaming, this represents time to receive the completion.

Speed and latency metrics average each endpoint's runs over the past 5 days, and the error rate pools them. We run the benchmark every 6 hours, and endpoints of deprecated models every 18 hours.

Reliability

Share of requests the endpoint failed, across all the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured

Endpoint Error Rate: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Share of requests the endpoint failed with an error, a rate limit or a timeout · Across all the single-request and multi-turn agentic workloads measured · Lower is better

Share of requests over the past 5 days that the endpoint failed with an error, a rate limit or a timeout. Failures on our side are left out of both counts. Across several workloads, the failures and requests are pooled before dividing.

Speed and latency metrics average each endpoint's runs over the past 5 days, and the error rate pools them. We run the benchmark every 6 hours, and endpoints of deprecated models every 18 hours.

Caching

Cache Hit Rate: Grok Build 0.1 0616

Median across multi-turn agentic session runs in the last four weeks, updated Oct 26, 2026 · Higher is better

The share of cacheable input tokens served from the provider's prompt cache, measured during multi-turn agentic sessions. We regularly measure each endpoint and report a representative rate based on recent measurements. Higher values mean more of the input is billed at the cheaper cache-hit price, where the provider offers one, which lowers the effective cost of agentic workloads. For further details, see our methodology page.
