About the xAI API
Grok is the model line of xAI, Elon Musk's US company. The catalog lists 10 models: the text models Grok 4.20, 4.3 and 4.5 with 500K to 1M token context, the coding model Grok Build 0.1, and the Grok Imagine image and video generators; all are closed-weight and API-only.
Grok publishes API prices per million tokens, billed separately for input and output, so the cost of a request depends on prompt and completion length. The table above lists 12 models with per-1M pricing, context window and maximum output.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Grok API cost?
There is no single rate — it depends on the model. The lowest input price across Grok models is 84.51 ₽ per 1M tokens, converted from the provider's dollar price list, and the top-tier model is Grok 4.6. The table above lists input and output rates for every xAI model. Data as of September 2026.
Which Grok model is the cheapest?
By input price it is Grok Build 0.1 at 84.51 ₽ per 1M input tokens. The final bill also depends on the output rate, which varies far more between models: the longer the answers, the bigger the gap. Compare the Input / 1M and Output / 1M columns before you commit to a model.
How many Grok models are in the catalog?
xAI models in the catalog: 12, as of September 2026. The list is built automatically from the provider's public data — new models appear at the next sync, while retired ones stay in place with a deprecated status. Every model has its own page with prices and limits.
How are Grok prices converted to rubles?
xAI publishes its price list in dollars per 1M tokens, and the ruble figures are a conversion at the official Bank of Russia rate, currently 1 $ = 84.51 ₽. The rate and the date it was taken are shown in the page header, and the currency switch brings back the original dollar prices.
How do the Grok model lines differ?
The lines differ in size, price and purpose: there are lightweight models starting at 84.51 ₽ per 1M input tokens, and top-tier ones such as Grok 4.6. The table columns show exactly what changes — context window, input and output prices, capabilities. Details live on each model page.
How often are Grok prices updated?
The catalog syncs every day at 06:00 Moscow time: provider price lists, limits, the model list and the Bank of Russia rate are all re-read. If xAI changes a rate, the new price shows up here after the next sync. Current figures are as of September 2026.
Do Grok models support reasoning?
Yes, some Grok models support a reasoning mode — the Capabilities column flags it in the table, and each model page lists it separately. Keep in mind that reasoning consumes output tokens, so a request costs more even when the per-1M rate stays the same.
How much do 1,000 Grok tokens cost?
Providers quote prices per 1M tokens, so 1,000 tokens cost exactly a thousandth of that. The cheapest option in the catalog is Grok Build 0.1 at $1 per 1M input tokens.
