grok-4.7
Meant to excel at
-
xAI-reported strengths in electrical engineering (EEBench 64.0 vs 56.4 for Fable 5.1) and Harvey legal agent tasks (19.6 vs 6.7); vendor numbers only.
Vendor's own site x.ai -
Cursor positions it for harder, longer-running multi-step agent work on large codebases, including tasks Grok 4.6 struggled with.

Watch out for
-
Very verbose and slow to start: about 240M output tokens to run the AA index (median 85M), 46.6s time to first token, and $3.74 per index task (rank 102 of 114).
Independent evaluator artificialanalysis.ai -
Trails Fable 5.1 on terminal work (Terminal-Bench 4.0 37.6 vs 57.9, xAI-reported); Vals measured only 28.8 on the same benchmark.
Independent evaluator vals.ai -
Mid-pack on blind WebDev voting (1637, rank 18) and AA index 46, well below Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Meta flagships.
