SpaceXAI just launched Grok 4.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 output. Anthropic's Opus sits at $5 and $25, OpenAI's GPT-5.6 at $5 and $30. Musk calls it roughly Opus-class, just faster and cheaper.

Here's the governance angle nobody's pricing in. When an Opus-class model costs a third of the going rate, your staff will run agents whether procurement signed off or not. Frontier AI is turning into a commodity, and shadow AI just got a lot cheaper. Is your AI inventory built for that?
