Compare Grok 4.5 from Grok and Qwen3 Max from Qwen on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
Grok 4.5
Qwen3 MaxGrok 4.5 was trained on datasets spanning knowledge in coding, science, engineering, and math. With both intelligent and efficient reasoning, Grok 4.5 excels at real engineering tasks and exceeds comparable leading models at these tasks.
The Tongyi Qianwen 3 series Max model has undergone special upgrades in intelligent agent programming and tool invocation compared to the preview version. The officially released model this time reaches SOTA level in the field and is adapted to more complex intelligent agent scenarios.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
LMArena ratings by capability (Bradley-Terry, commonly called Elo). Higher is better.
