Grok 4.7 Launches With Coding Gains But High Token Use Threatens Cost Efficiency For Engineering Teams
SpaceXAI released Grok 4.7, its latest AI model for coding and knowledge work, maintaining $2/$6 per million input/output tokens pricing. While benchmark performance improved over Grok 4.6, independent testing reveals the model uses 81,000 output tokens per task—125% more than its predecessor—potentially undermining its cost efficiency advantage despite affordable token rates.
