Why this model scores 81.6

Primary launch evidence supports high coding, engineering, reasoning, office-tool, and agentic capability, including training on multi-hour rollouts. API access, low published pricing, Cursor distribution, and Grok Build make deployment broad. Strong cyber-adjacent coding and tool use create substantial misuse potential, while hosted access and the absence of an open-weight release keep deployment and residual control difficulty below freely downloadable frontier profiles.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Grok 4.5

The model score of 81.6 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 58.0 measures the accumulated evidence trajectory. These values answer different questions.
