Grok 4.7 delayed as Musk says it needs 'a few more days' over RL training bug

Grok 4.7 isn't shipping yet — Elon Musk says it needs "a few more days to cook."
The alleged reason: RL may have penalized response length too hard, so the model quits early on hard tasks it can actually solve and doesn't check its own work enough. That's framed as a training bug, not a missing feature.
