Grok 4.7 Slammed in Benchmarks: 2.5x Tokens for Just 2 Points More
ivan_bezdomny · x · 2026-09-22
xAI pitched Grok 4.7 as a notable improvement over 4.6 at the same price and speed, but third-party comparisons tell a different story:
- Grok 4.7 xhigh burns 2.5x the tokens of 4.6 high to score just 2 points higher on artificial arena
- On cursorbench, 4.7 low scores below Grok 4.6 low while using more tokens and more steps
The poster concludes the model is "dead on arrival," questioning whether the official claims hold up in practice.
