# Grok All-Model API - Responses Quickstart

> - Call xAI Grok text models using the OpenAI Responses API format (pick the model via the `model` parameter)
- Reasoning + tool-use models; `grok-4.5` has a 500K-token context window
- This endpoint unlocks xAI server-side tools: web search, X search, code execution, attachment search, and collections search (billed per successful call)
- 💡 Need tools and all parameters? See the [full parameter documentation](./responses-reference)

<Note>
  **BaseURL**: The default BaseURL is `https://direct.evolink.ai`, which has better support for text models and long-lived connections. `https://api.evolink.ai` is the primary endpoint for multimodal services and serves as a fallback address for text models.
