PawelHuryn's independent tests show Grok 4.7 (medium) consistently beating (high) and even (xhigh): medium scored 30/23/27 vs xhigh 25/30/31/29 and high 19/22/17 (low: 11/15). Grok 4.6 (high) at 23 also beat 4.7 (high) at 19. He is expanding experiments across effort levels but suspects 4.7 wasn't fixed — just optimized for popular benchmarks.
