Grok 4.7
AvailableGrok 4.7 is xAI's frontier model released 2026-09-21, succeeding Grok 4.6 for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work. API id grok-4.7; text and image input, text output; 500,000-token context window (no published output cap); function calling, structured outputs, prompt caching, code execution, web search, X search, and configurable reasoning effort (low/medium/high default/xhigh). Knowledge cutoff May 2026; no Batch API. First-party pricing matches Grok 4.6: prompts under 200k bill $2.00 input / $0.50 cached / $6.00 output per 1M; prompts >=200k bill $4.00 / $1.00 / $12.00. Available via the xAI API, Cursor, Grok Build, and OpenRouter.
Grok 4.5
AvailableSpaceXAI's "Opus-class" agentic flagship, released July 8, 2026 — the first Grok model trained jointly with the coding startup Cursor (Anysphere), on trillions of tokens of real Cursor usage data plus STEM tasks, research papers, and other knowledge work. Targets software engineering, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, with explicit strength in legal and finance use cases (SpaceXAI claims the top spot on the Harvey Legal Agent Benchmark). A Mixture-of-Experts model reported to be built on a ~1.5-trillion-parameter "V9" foundation. Vendor benchmarks are mixed against Anthropic's Opus 4.8 — ahead on DeepSWE 1.0 and Terminal-Bench 2.1, behind on DeepSWE 1.1 and SWE-bench Pro — but markedly more token-efficient (~15,900 output tokens on SWE-bench Pro tasks, ~4.2x fewer than Opus 4.8) and served at ~80 tokens/sec. Base pricing $2/$6 per Mtok; Cursor lists a faster variant at $4/$18. Available in Grok Build (default model), Cursor (all plans), and the SpaceXAI console; initially unavailable in the EU (expected mid-July). xAI was absorbed by SpaceX in Feb 2026 and rebranded SpaceXAI.
Grok 4.3
AvailablexAI's agentic flagship with a 1M-token context and aggressive API pricing.
