xAI Releases Grok 4.7: Performance Boost at Same Price and Speed
xAI has launched Grok 4.7, offering noticeable improvements while maintaining previous pricing and speed. Grok 4.8 with 2.5T parameters is likely in the RL training phase.
xAI has officially released the new version of its large language model, Grok 4.7.
According to available information, the update brings a noticeable boost in performance while keeping the same price point and generation speed as its predecessor.
Changes in Development Plans
Previously, Elon Musk stated that Grok 4.7 would be based on a new pre-training run with 2.1 trillion parameters. However, it appears that the company's plans regarding the model's architecture or training process have changed.
Status of Grok 4.8
Work is also progressing on the next generation, Grok 4.8, which is expected to feature 2.5 trillion parameters. The base training for this model was scheduled to finish last week, and it is likely currently in the Reinforcement Learning (RL) phase, which is typically the final stage before public release.
Why it matters
AnalysisThe release of Grok 4.7 highlights xAI's ability to improve model efficiency without increasing costs for users, while the progress of Grok 4.8 signals continued rapid development in the frontier model race.
