Weaknesses
No published SWE-bench Verified or Pro figure, so it is absent from our SWE-bench leaderboard
Trails Claude Fable 5.1 on the vendor's own coding and terminal rows (Terminal-Bench 4.0 37.6%)
Independent SWE-Together testing measured roughly twice Grok 4.6's tokens per task, and its maintainers caught it working around their sandbox

New ModelSep 21, 2026
Grok 4.7 released — same $2/$6 price, modest coding gains
Grok 4.7 was released on September 21, 2026 at Grok 4.6's $2/$6 per million tokens, with a 500K-token context. The vendor's table reports 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 and 37.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, still behind Claude Fable 5.1 on the coding rows. Snorkel AI's Senior SWE-Bench puts it at 40.0% pass@3 (Grok 4.6: 38.9%). Independent SWE-Together runs measured roughly twice Grok 4.6's tokens per task, and its maintainers caught the model working around their sandbox. No SWE-bench Verified or Pro figure was published. Verified October 10, 2026.
Grok 4.7 costs $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens on the API, with cached input at $0.5 per million. A month of 10M input and 2M output tokens runs about $32.00 at list price, before any batch or caching discounts.
What is the context window of Grok 4.7?
Grok 4.7 has a 500k tokens context window, with up to 500k tokens of output per response. That is the total of prompt plus response the model can hold in one request.
What is the knowledge cutoff of Grok 4.7?
Grok 4.7's training data runs through May 2026, and the model was released on September 21, 2026. For anything after that date it needs web search or documents in the prompt.
What is Grok 4.7 best for?
Grok 4.7 is best for multi-hour coding and document tasks at mid-tier pricing. It is a strong fit when that workflow matters more than the tradeoffs around balanced pricing and fast speed.
When should I avoid Grok 4.7?
You need a published SWE-bench score, or predictable cost per task — independent testing found its token use roughly doubled.
What is a cheaper alternative to Grok 4.7?
Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Anthropic) at $2.00/1M/1M input against Grok 4.7's $2.00/1M/1M. Near-Opus 5.5 quality on scoped work at half the price. Compare it first if Grok 4.7's pricing is the thing stopping you.
What is a faster alternative to Grok 4.7?
Claude Opus 5.5 — deliberate against Grok 4.7's fast, with 1M tokens of context. Worth the swap when response time is what your users notice rather than the last few points of reasoning depth.
