xAI launches Grok 4.7 at bargain prices, but benchmarks reveal a wide gap to Claude and GPT-6
xAI released Grok 4.7 at low API prices, but benchmarks trail Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6.
xAI launched Grok 4.7, described as its most capable model for coding and knowledge work, built on a larger base with longer reinforcement learning and stronger output verification. Pricing is $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 it scores 46, behind Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 at 53 each. On Terminal-Bench 4.0 it scores 26 percent, versus 60 percent for GPT-6 Astra, 55 percent for Claude Fable 5.1, and 27 percent for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. It is available through the Grok API, Cursor, and Grok Build.
- API price is $2 per million input and $6 per million output tokens.
- Artificial Analysis Index score is 46, versus 53 for the leaders.
- Terminal-Bench 4.0 agentic coding score is 26 percent.
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash slightly leads it at 27 percent on that bench.
- Offered through the Grok API, Cursor, and Grok Build.

Elon Musk's xAI has introduced Grok 4.7, its most capable model yet for coding and knowledge work. It's built on a larger base model, trained with longer reinforcement learning, and designed to better verify its own output, according to the company. Pricing sits at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. Those rates are closer to Chinese models than Western frontier models, probably for good reason. On the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (v4.3.2), which combines ten benchmarks, Grok 4.7 scores 46 and lands mid-pack. Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 lead with 53 each.
The gap grows wider in agentic coding. On Terminal-Bench 4.0, Grok 4.7 hits just 26 percent, versus 60 percent for GPT-6 Astra and 55 percent for Claude Fable 5.1. Even the cheaper DeepSeek V4.1 Flash edges past it at 27 percent. The model is available through the Grok API, Cursor, and Grok Build.
