Grok 4.7: Same Price, Double the Bill

🔥 What happened xAI shipped Grok 4.7 at the exact same token price as Grok 4.6: $2 in, $6 out per million. But the new model burned 240 million tokens on the Intelligence Index versus 94 million for its predecessor. Cost per task jumped from $1.86 to $3.74. 💡 Why it matters The list price is only half the bill: what you pay is price times tokens generated. Grok 4.7 writes 2.5x what Grok 4.6 did and nearly 3x a median model — for two extra index points. It also runs at 57 tokens/s, slower than Grok 4.6 (66) and the median (79). ⚡ Our take If you pick LLMs off the price table, this is the week that table stopped telling you what you'll pay. xAI sold you a taxi at the same per-mile rate that takes the scenic route through two other cities — and called it "Twice as fast".
