xAI's mid-tier model. Context window: 256K tokens.
Scores by test
Methodology →What you need to know
Grok Build 0.1 is optimized for high-precision technical tasks, specifically excelling in structured output, tool calling, and strategic analysis. With a perfect 5/5 score across these domains, the model is built for reliability in programmatic workflows and data-heavy applications, including tabular data processing and long-context retrieval via its 256K window.
The model presents a significant risk regarding safety calibration, scoring 1/5. This indicates a lack of internal guardrails, which may lead to unpredictable or unfiltered responses. Developers must implement their own robust filtering layers if the model is intended for user-facing applications.
At a blended cost of $1.75/MTok, the model is priced as a premium offering. While its performance in agentic planning and classification is strong, it does not offer a cost-to-performance advantage over other top-tier models, making its value proposition dependent on its specific strengths in structured data and tool integration.
Use this model if you require a high-reliability engine for tool calling, complex strategic analysis, or processing large datasets within a 256K context. Skip this model if your application requires built-in safety alignment or if you are operating on a tight budget.
