xAI Launches Grok 4.7 Model with Focus on Coding and Knowledge Work

xAI has officially launched Grok 4.7, its latest large language model, emphasizing its capabilities for coding and general knowledge work. The company positions Grok 4.7 as its most powerful model to date, designed to handle multi-hour tasks and long-horizon agentic workflows. A key aspect of the release is its aggressive pricing, maintaining the $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens from its predecessor, Grok 4.6. While xAI and some reports highlight significant benchmark gains, particularly in agentic coding and legal agent tests, other analyses suggest that Grok 4.7 still lags behind leading models like Claude and GPT-6 in overall performance. There are also differing views on the true cost of using Grok 4.7; while per-token rates are low, some outlets caution that increased token usage for complex tasks could lead to higher overall expenses. The launch was confirmed by xAI itself, with numerous media outlets reporting on the details and initial performance assessments.
