How to Use Grok 4.5 for Free
This is the bit most people miss: if you already pay for X (Twitter), Grok 4.5 is included — you don’t need a separate API bill. You can use it inside X (SuperGrok), on grok.com, or through Grok Build in your terminal.
And through Hermes with Grok OAuth, you log in with one button, no API key, and it costs nothing extra — which is exactly why the course leans on it.
Three Ways to Use Grok 4.5 (At a Glance)
The course shows three access routes — here’s when to use each:
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| SuperGrok (inside X) | Quick chats + real-time X news |
| grok.com | Building in the browser, images & video |
| Grok Build (CLI) | Serious coding — websites, apps, games, locally |
Grok Build or grok.com — Which Should You Use?
Simple rule from the course: if you’re coding something — a website, an app, a game — use Grok Build (the CLI). It codes locally, saves your work, and is easier to preview. If you just want to chat, generate an image or a quick page, grok.com is the friendlier route.
You don’t have to pick one forever — most people use grok.com for quick jobs and Grok Build when they’re building something real.
An Honest Word on Grok 4.5
I’ll be straight: at the time of recording I wouldn’t say Grok 4.5 quite matches Claude Opus 4.8 or Fable 5 for raw quality. But it holds its own, and for the 80/20 you rarely need the full power of a frontier model.
What makes it special is what it can do that others can’t: create images and videos, and pull real-time news straight from X. That combination — free with a Twitter subscription — is genuinely hard to beat. For where it lands versus other models, see my GPT 5.6 vs Fable 5 comparison.
