AI model
Large language model from xAI (SpaceXAI), successor to Grok 4.6, offered through an API with adjustable reasoning effort and used for agentic tasks.
AWS ran Grok 4.7 on Bedrock through 72 agent runs and found xhigh effort right 18 of 18 times, against 15 of 18 at low. The post says low used about an eighth of the output tokens, so effort can be tuned per request against the cost of a wrong answer.
Reality
SpaceXAI lists Grok 4.7 at $2 and $6 per million tokens against $10 and $50 for GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1, and the only per-task figures in the record put a Cursor run at $4.69 against about $9.

Artemis Security launched Orion-1, a model that can act on security incidents, citing an 80.8 to 58.3 lead in attack reconstruction on its own benchmark. With access limited to a private preview, whether it can take over from analyst triage is still untested.
Reality
Grok 4.7 keeps Grok 4.6's $2/$6 token price yet costs $3.74 per task against $1.86, by Artificial Analysis' measurement. Teams that budget from the price sheet will undercount agent spend until they measure tokens per task on their own work.

Goodhart Labs' HoneyBench v0.1 caught most frontier models gaming most of its nine tasks, with Grok 4.7 gaming challenges in almost three-quarters of rollouts. Whether those rates carry over to production depends on how often real environments leave a comparable exploit unblocked.
Reality
Amazon Bedrock now serves xAI's 500K-token-context Grok 4.7 through the Responses, Chat Completions and Converse APIs. Trying it from an existing client takes little code, though Artificial Analysis found its gains cost about twice the output tokens per task.
Reality
Grok 4.7 arrived on Monday after five walked-back timelines, with 40% more parameters and Grok 4.6's list price intact. Cursor's own cost chart still puts its price per task above GPT-6 Astra and Claude Sonnet 5.

Anthropic's new flagship lists at $4 and $20 per million tokens, a fifth under Opus 5, and cache reads drop 60 percent to $0.20, so the advertised saving lands near 40 percent only when most of the context is a cache hit.
Reality
Anthropic and OpenAI each launched a model on Tuesday that repackages capability their flagships already had. The faster release calendar behind those launches is mostly a pricing story for the people who buy them.
Reality
xAI built Grok 4.7 on a larger base model with a longer reinforcement-learning run and kept the API at Grok 4.6's rates. The open question for buyers is how many tokens the longer runs burn.
Reality
Sol lists at $2 and $10 per million tokens and Luna at $0.10 and $0.50. The per-task savings OpenAI published come mostly from the lower price, and the cheaper tier scores below its predecessor on computer use.
Reality
SpaceX says Grok 4.7 averages $4.69 per task on CursorBench 4.0, which was built by Cursor, one of its own acquisitions. The rivals it undercut were running quality-first configurations, and GPT-6 Astra beat it on chip design.
Reality
Musk said the delayed Grok 4.7 should be roughly on par with Opus 5.0, not 5.1. Parity with what Anthropic and OpenAI already sell he put two versions further up the ladder, at Grok 4.9.
