The model uses a larger base model than Grok 4.6, features longer reinforcement learning on harder tasks, and includes improved safeguards and self-verification capabilities. It is available via Grok API, Cursor, Grok Build, and third-party platforms.\n\nWhile all sources agree on the core launch details, pricing, and model improvements, they differ in benchmark reporting: unite.ai reports Grok 4.7 scoring 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 and 71.0% on DeepSWE v1.1, while the-decoder.com cites a score of 46 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 and 26% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, noting a gap to Claude and GPT-6. aws.amazon.com does not discuss Grok 4.7, focusing instead on Grok 4.6’s availability in Amazon Bedrock.","keyPoints":["xAI launched Grok 4.7 for coding and knowledge work at $2 per million input and $6 per million output tokens.","Grok 4.7 uses a larger base model and longer reinforcement learning run than Grok 4.6.","Benchmark results differ: unite.ai reports 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0; the-decoder.com reports 46 on AA Index and 26% on Terminal-Bench 4.0."],"whyItMatters":"Grok 4.7’s pricing undercuts Western frontier models, increasing competitive pressure in the AI coding agent market.
