Commenting on Grok 4.7's Artificial Analysis scores, the author notes it only gains 2 points over Grok 4.6 while per-task cost jumps from $1.86 to $2.73 (+47%), questioning whether the premium is worth it.
- Takeaway: not a huge leap, and model improvements appear to be slowing
- API pricing reportedly stays unchanged, so the higher cost comes from increased token consumption
For per-task billed users, this is a clear value regression.
