Developer ChrisUniverse shared his experience with the Grok 4.5 model, calling it his new favorite. He noted that Grok 4.5 offers comparable intelligence and coding abilities while saving 10 to 25 times the compute costs of other models, making it incredibly cost-effective.
Furthermore, he emphasized that Grok is currently the only model he trusts with full device access. He also teased an upcoming project built on this model that will introduce a new angle to how we use, test, and rank AI models.
