Our review

Grok 4.7 is not released yet. On Sep 2, 2026 Elon Musk posted on X that 'Grok 4.7 comes out in 10 days' — that calendars to about Sep 12, but it is not an official xAI ship date and the name or timing can still change. Parameters, pricing and evals are not on an official model card; media figures such as 2.1T are for reference only.

What is live is Grok 4.6 (August 2026): matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the intelligence index at about half the price, with strong long-running agent efficiency. Grok has real-time X access and a direct style. The ecosystem is newer, there's bias controversy, and Chinese is average; heavy X users who want a plain-spoken, real-time assistant still have a unique niche here.
