Grok 4.7

Reasoning effort

Grok 4.7 is a SpaceXAI proprietary reasoning model, released 21 Sept 2026. Its best configuration (high reasoning effort) ranks #56 of 775 on the BenchLeader Index at 64.0 ±7.3, in the upper half. The ± is the point: 199 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in composite (82) and lowest in reasoning (61). At $3.00 per million tokens blended it is pricier than most ranked models. Output speed of 87 tokens per second puts it faster than most, with a first answer in 33.0 s. It has been measured at 5 reasoning-effort settings; this summary describes the best-scoring one, and the tabs above switch between them. Last measured 21 Sept 2026.

Versions

SpaceXAI has shipped 10 models under this name. Each is ranked on its own results; a newer version often has fewer results so far, which holds its index nearer the average until more arrive.

Reasoning-effort configurations

The same model behaves differently depending on how much it is allowed to think. Each row is one setting, scored only on the benchmarks that were run at that setting. “Not stated” collects results from publishers that did not say which setting they used; for a reasoning model that is usually its thinking mode, but we do not assume it. Pick a setting here or at the top of the page to see its price, speed and category scores.

What more thinking costs

Turning the effort up buys index points and multiplies the bill. Here xhigh costs 3.0× low for +0.7 on the index — 0.4 points per doubling of spend. Compare that with other models.

The index is recomputed from scratch every day, so a line moves when a new benchmark result lands, when a publisher revises a score, or when the models it is normalised against change. Early movement usually means the score is still settling.
