xAI launches Grok 4.7 at bargain prices, but benchmarks reveal a wide gap to Claude and GPT-6

xAI has released Grok 4.7, which is currently marketed as the company's most advanced model with a focus on low-cost access. However, performance data from the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index indicates the model underperforms compared to industry leaders like Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6. While the model offers a budget-friendly option for users, its lower scoring—particularly in agentic coding tasks—highlights a measurable performance deficit against the highest-tier models currently available.
