It scored 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 compared with 40.4% for Grok 4.6, while its Terminal Bench 4.0 score rose to 38% from 20.3%.\n\nThe model also scored 71% on DeepSWE 1.1 at high reasoning effort, 1,657 on AA Briefcase and 64% on EEBench. xAI’s results put Grok 4.7 ahead of GPT 5.6 Sol on several of those evaluations, though GPT 5.6 Sol and Fable 5.1 remained ahead on others.\n\nThe release follows Grok 4.6, which xAI launched in August with a focus on long running agents and complex coding and knowledge work. Grok 4.6 was priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens.\n\n### AI, tech, and the markets they move—in one daily briefing.\n\nDaily. Free. Join 34,000+ readers across crypto, finance, and policy.\n\nxAI is keeping the same starting price for Grok 4.7 at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. A faster version offering twice the output speed is available at twice the price.\n\nThe company also introduced a new safeguard stack for Grok 4.7. xAI said the model allowed 3.3% of risky dual use prompts through on HackerBench 0.3 and scored 62.4% on a biosafety benchmark from LatchBio.\n\nThe company is also providing selected cybersecurity partners with access to the model’s red team capabilities for defensive research.\n\nGrok 4.7 is available through Cursor, Grok Build and the Grok API, as well as third party coding tools, model routers and cloud platforms.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Estefano Gomez.
