Grok 4.5 vs GPT-5 Nano Overview
Everything you need to know about these AI models, including capabilities, performance, pricing, and technical details.
xAI / Grok 4.5
proDescription
xAI's frontier model, built for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work rather than conversation. Grok 4.5 reads text and images, searches both the web and X, and lets you set how hard it thinks before answering. Its knowledge runs to February 2026, unusually recent. The tradeoff is context: its window is half the size of the previous Grok generation.
OpenAI / GPT-5 Nano
lightDescription
OpenAI's smallest and cheapest GPT-5 model, built for speed above all. GPT-5 Nano is made for summarisation, classification, and other well-defined tasks that run at high volume. It reads text and images, with adjustable reasoning effort. Reasoning depth is shallow by design and its knowledge is dated. The trade is cost: it is among the cheapest models in the catalog.

xAI / Grok 4.5
proCoding and Agentic Tasks
xAI was built specifically for coding and agentic tasks, trained on new datasets spanning science, engineering, and maths. Aimed at multi-file work across repositories.
Reasoning Effort You Control
Reasoning runs at low, medium, or high, so you decide how much thinking each request gets. Function calling and code execution are supported, which is what agentic work actually depends on.
A Mid-Size Context Window
Handles 500,000 tokens, roughly 375,000 words. Comfortable for large codebases and long document sets, though half the window the previous Grok generation offered, so whole-monorepo work may not fit.
Knowledge Work and Documents
xAI positions it for knowledge work alongside coding, which means long documents, structured reasoning, and the kind of writing that has to survive review rather than just read well.
Web Search and X Search
xAI states plainly that Grok knows nothing beyond its training data, and provides server-side Web Search and X Search tools to fix that. X Search is unique to this model.
Text and Image Input
Reads text and images, in jpg or png, in any order alongside your prompt. Send screenshots, diagrams, or scanned pages. Audio and video are not listed as supported inputs.
OpenAI / GPT-5 Nano
lightCoding Sub-Tasks
Suited to small, well-scoped coding jobs and to acting as a fast sub-agent inside a larger system, rather than tackling whole problems. Reasoning depth is limited, so keep the scope tight.
Adjustable Reasoning Effort
Reasoning effort runs from minimal through low, medium, and high. Even at higher effort it is a shallow reasoner by design, so it suits speed-sensitive work rather than hard multi-step problems.
Room For Long Documents
A large context window, enough to summarise long reports or classify big batches of text in a single pass without splitting the input into separate requests.
Summarisation And Classification
OpenAI names summarisation and classification as its core uses. Built to process high volumes of text quickly and cheaply rather than to produce polished long-form writing.
Analysis On Older Knowledge
Its training data is dated by current standards, so it is fine for processing text you supply but weaker on recent events, which need live sources rather than the model's own knowledge.
Text And Image Input
Reads text and images, so you can send screenshots or scanned pages alongside your prompt. Output is text only. OpenAI states audio and video are not supported.
