Analysis Summary

Grok 4 Fast is a high-throughput model from xAI with an intelligence index of 27.4 and an agentic index of 42.4. LiveCodeBench at 83.2% is among the stronger coding scores in the mid-tier, and GPQA at 84.7% reflects capable reasoning. Vision support and file input add multimodal capability, and the 2 million token context window is a standout feature for large-scale document or codebase analysis.

For businesses, Grok 4 Fast suits coding assistance, agentic tool-use pipelines, long-document analysis, and multimodal workflows. The combination of vision, tool use, function calling, and a 2M context window gives it broad capability breadth that few models at this price point match. Instruction following (aa_ifbench 0.505) is adequate rather than leading.

At $0.20 input and $0.50 output, it is one of the most cost-effective options for its capability level. Teams needing a fast, versatile model for mixed workloads, particularly those involving long documents or vision tasks, will find Grok 4 Fast a strong value proposition.
