xAI announced Grok 4.7 on 2026-09-21 for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work. For builders, the release comes with one immediate caveat: xAI says the model is available through the Grok API and model routers, but the current xAI’s launch post and models catalog do not fully line up, with the catalog still pointing developers to Grok 4.6 for code and chat and not yet listing Grok 4.7 as a direct selection.
Pricing is clearer. xAI lists $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens for direct use. A tracked Route pricing page also shows an OpenRouter path at $1.60 input / $4.80 output per million tokens. Those figures reflect different provider routes, not necessarily a contradiction, but they do mean total cost can vary depending on where you serve the model.
Grok 4.7 looks ready for evaluation, especially for long-context coding or tool-based workflows, but teams should verify the exact model ID, provider route, price, and latency before treating it as a production replacement.
