TL;DR
Grok 4.5's planning mean was near the leaders in the August 8, 2026 study of 29 frozen conversations. It scored 0.724 with a standard error of 0.065, at historical billing of $0.0519 per decision and 23.5-second median latency. Luna had lower cost and median response time. Small differences in mean score should be read with the sample uncertainty.

x-ai/grok-4.5 was tested on 2026-08-08. 16-model campaign, 29 frozen conversations; 14 model rows shown in the public table. Its row and the other published arm use the same task and measurement units.
What this version helps you choose
Its planning mean was near the leading means, while recorded billing and median response time exceeded Luna’s.
Route a request and plan the work: follow the published task
A useful planner chooses the right kind of work before doing it. The complete customer conversations and system prompts remain private.
Published task summary
An incoming request and its existing conversation.
Choose whether to write a plan, call a catalog tool, ask for clarification or continue an existing agent.
Read what came back
A routing decision and plan. Every model receives the same saved conversation; the test compares that decision before fresh research begins.
Replay 29 frozen conversations across the model arms, then compare graded plan scores, billing and response time.

Inspect the original Grok planning metrics
For routing and planning, Grok 4.5 recorded a mean score of 0.724 with standard error 0.065. Historical billing was $0.0519 per decision, and median response time was 23.5s. Compare that cost and response time with the other models in the same 29-conversation study; the mean alone does not establish a decisive quality advantage.

Scoring
Top planning means were close at this sample size. The source's paired comparison with Opus was inconclusive.
Cost units
Cost is provider-billed dollars per decision. Prefix reuse can make it differ from list price multiplied by every input token.
Time units
p50 is median latency in seconds, not the duration of complete research.
Frozen conversation
A saved input kept identical across model arms so their decisions can be compared.
Standard error (SE)
An estimate of uncertainty around the sample mean. A small mean difference needs more evidence than the ranking alone.
