These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

How does Grok 4.3 rank among AI models?

Grok 4.3 is a superseded version and is not on the current board as of 6 November 2026. Its archive position, where one exists, is shown on the page; the newer version carries the current rank.

How much does Grok 4.3 cost per 1M tokens?

Grok 4.3 is listed at $1.25 per 1M input tokens and $2.50 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $3.75 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of Grok 4.3?

Grok 4.3 has a published context window of 1M tokens (1,000,000). The snapshot lists a 900,000 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

Is Grok 4.3 open-weight?

No linked weights. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data. This does not identify every API or chat product that offers the model.

Which API providers serve Grok 4.3?

One provider serves Grok 4.3 through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: xAI. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
