Grok 4.7 Reportedly Launching Today, Spotted in Google Cloud Quota List
Starting September 15, well-known leaker markk posted repeatedly that xAI's new model Grok 4.7 was imminent: first predicting it could launch that day unless delayed again, then on September 17 hinting it was "on the way," and finally claiming "this time it's real — the rollout has begun," suggesting a staged rollout. That same day, user koltregaskes discovered Grok 4.7 listed in Google Cloud's quota page, boosting the leaks' credibility. xAI has made no official confirmation.
Confirmed
- Grok 4.7 appeared in Google Cloud's quota list, discovered by koltregaskes on 09-17.
- markk stated Grok 4.7 was being rolled out gradually, with launch set for September 17.
- User haider1 relayed the same-day launch claim and called for a unified xAI desktop app combining chat, Grok Build, Imagine and voice mode — a wishlist rather than a source.
Unconfirmed
- xAI has not confirmed Grok 4.7's launch timing, specs or capabilities.
- markk's posts are personal predictions; Grok 4.7 has reportedly slipped multiple times before, so reliability is questionable.
- The link between quota-list appearance and launch is community folklore: users note models typically go live within the same day (usually under 12 hours) after appearing in cloud quotas, citing Gemini and Opus 4.7 precedents — a statistical pattern, not an official mechanism.
Why it matters
- If true, Grok 4.7 would be a significant xAI update in the fiercely competitive frontier-model race; the Google Cloud quota sighting is a community-trusted pre-launch signal, making these leaks far more credible than verbal posts alone.
- The episode also illustrates the typical pattern of communities tracking vendor moves via cloud quotas and deployment traces before official launches.
