Elon Musk responded to a leak about xAI's model roadmap: Grok 4.7 is rumored to ship soon and should be roughly on par with Claude Opus 5.0 (not 5.1), better in some ways and worse in others, with multimodal performance still needing work. Grok 4.8 will be a noticeable improvement, Grok 4.9 is probably Astra/Fable class, and Grok 5 might be better than anything else available.
