Grok 4.7 is planned as a 2.1-trillion-parameter model.\n\nDescribing the upcoming version, Musk wrote:\n\n```\n\"This will be better than 4.6 in every way, except slightly slower to serve, albeit with even better token efficiency.\"\n```\n\nThe announcement follows the release of Grok 4.5 earlier this month and reflects xAI's rapid development cycle as competition intensifies among leading AI developers, including OpenAI, Anthropic and emerging Chinese firms.\n\nMusk's timeline and technical specifications have not been independently verified by xAI beyond his public statements, and the planned release dates could change.\n\nEarlier, [Qazinform](https://qazinform.com/) News Agency [reported](https://qazinform.com/news/five-eyes-warn-ai-cyber-threat-is-months-away-06fa0f) that intelligence agencies from the Five Eyes alliance issued a rare joint warning that advanced artificial intelligence models capable of carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks against governments and businesses could emerge within months.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-4-6-launch", "canonical_source": "https://qazinform.com/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-46-launch-b4671e", "published_at": "2026-07-29 06:42:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-29 06:53:52.439703+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Elon Musk", "xAI", "Grok 4.6", "Grok 4.7", "OpenAI", "Anthropic"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-4-6-launch", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-4-6-launch.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-4-6-launch.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musk-sets-august-target-for-grok-4-6-launch.jsonld"}}
