[Repost] In Perplexity Computer's orchestrator tests, Grok 4.5 emerged as the top performer, scoring 0.328 on the WANDR benchmark with a cost of about $4.76 per trial.
Comparisons:
- Opus 4.8 (high, thinking): 0.254, Cost $9.46
- GPT-5.6 sol (medium): 0.289, Cost $2.64
WANDR primarily measures complex research tasks requiring search, multi-step reasoning, computation, deduplication, fact-checking, and structured output. Perplexity's Computer distributes research, coding, browsing, and documentation tasks among multiple sub-agents. This evaluation shows Grok 4.5 achieved the highest score among five configurations at roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8.
