Pricing usageusage
Strengths
  • + Deepest reasoning of the Claude family
  • + Best for ambiguous, planning-heavy tasks
  • + Aggressive pricing ($1.25 input / $2.50 output per million tokens) for a 1M-context flagship
  • + Vendor-reported leadership in agentic tool calling and instruction following
  • + Companion multi-agent variant (grok-4.20-multi-agent) targeted at agentic workloads
Tradeoffs
  • − Highest cost tier — not viable as default model
  • − Higher latency than Sonnet / Haiku
  • − Stated knowledge cutoff of November 2024 is older than competing flagships
  • − Rapid model churn; xAI retired eight legacy models (including grok-3) in May 2026, so pinned integrations need active migration
