Verified Grok 4.7 API pricing: $2 input and $6 output per 1M tokens, doubling at 200K prompt tokens, plus server-side tool fees and worked monthly cost examples.
Grok Bot is SpaceXAI's always-on agent on its own cloud computer. What it costs on Cursor and SuperGrok plans, which model runs it, Enterprise, Plaid finance, Team Bots, the dot.com redirect, Voice Transcribe 2.0, and what's confirmed about Grok 4.8 and Grok 5.
Grok 4.7 explained: the grok-4.7 model ID, 500k context, $2/$6 pricing with the 200k tier and Fast variant, xAI vs Artificial Analysis benchmarks, API quickstart, availability and who should use it.
Grok 4.7 vs Grok 4.6: same $2/$6 price and 500K context, a new larger base model, +17 points on Terminal-Bench, but ~2.25x the tokens per task. Specs, benchmark deltas, real cost per task, API migration, and the Grok 4.8 outlook.
Verified Grok 4.6 API and subscription pricing as of 23 August 2026 - the $2/$6 token rates, the 200K long-context cliff, per-call tool fees, and worked cost examples.
xAI's Grok 4.6 numbers verify cleanly — but the Terminal-Bench version trap, a stale official leaderboard and a 2.3x cost-per-task rise make them easy to misread.
Grok 4.6 improves coding and reasoning but regressed on agentic coding, tripled time-to-first-token and costs 2.3x more per task despite an unchanged price list.
Grok 4.6 launched August 12, 2026. Specs, the 200K pricing cliff, the Terminal-Bench version trap, and an honest read of where it beats and loses to Claude Opus 5 and Muse Spark 1.2.
Grok 4.5 is xAI's new Opus-class model — faster, more token-efficient, and lower cost. Specs, pricing, and how it compares to Claude Opus and GPT.
xAI launched Grok Imagine Agent Mode on May 1, 2026 — an infinite-canvas creative agent that plans, generates, edits, and stitches 6-second video clips into longer films. Features, four templates, vs Sora and Veo, pricing, and API examples.
In a single month, xAI shipped a coding agent, a skills system, and a connectors layer. Here's how Grok Build 0.1, Grok Skills, and Platform Connectors fit together — and how the stack compares to Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot Workspaces.
xAI's Grok 4.3 lands with a 1M token context window, native video input, and aggressive pricing at $1.25 input / $2.50 output per million tokens. Here is what changed from Grok 4.20, how it benchmarks against Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, and when it is the right tool to reach for.
Install and run Grok Build, xAI's new terminal coding agent: real install command, auth, Plan Mode, models, pricing, and how it stacks up.
The 2026 head-to-head: Grok 4.3 vs Claude Opus 4.7 vs Gemini 2.5 Pro on SWE-bench, LiveCodeBench, pricing, real coding workflows, IDE harnesses, and a clear pick-by-job-to-be-done framework.
