Riley Brown Tests Grok 4.5 in Cursor
In a detailed video tutorial, developer Riley Brown tests the newly released Grok 4.5 model inside the Cursor AI code editor, highlighting its speed and cost-effectiveness. Brown walks through building an iOS application using the Grok voice API, prompting a landing page, experimenting with Cursor's Design Mode, and constructing an Excalidraw clone connected to a Convex database.
Grok 4.5's integration into Cursor proves that the developer LLM market is shifting from mere model capability to speed, pricing, and seamless integration, positioning the model as a strong competitor to Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
- –Grok 4.5 is fast enough to make interactive prototyping feel near-instantaneous.
- –The competitive pricing makes long agentic sessions and large codebase tasks financially viable for individual developers.
- –Successfully building a voice-enabled iOS app and Excalidraw clone demonstrates high reliability in multi-step app generation and integration tasks.
