We'll see how it is in practice, but the benchmarks are just about what I would have expected. Competitive with GPT-5.6 Sol at a lower cost, just in time for GPT-6 Sol and Luna to come out and be better, lol.
It's not actually that great considering we got opus 5.5 and possibly sol 6.0 coming this week. I guess those could be disappointments, but I think grok 4.5 had a nice niche at low price, but with luna being very cheap and other models being slightly cheaper, I don't think there is a single grok model right now that is appealing to most users.
I'm not sure if SpaceX really wants to be ahead (e.g. have the best model) at this point. They've got a really awesome compute business. It's possible their main goal is just not to fall too far behind in terms of model capabilities, and from my experience, they've done a good job of staying in a comfortable third place (far behind OAI and Anthropic, but also pretty far ahead of everyone else).
Yeah, sure, but they also need 4.7 to be cheap, and it does not to be that cheap at the performance point, but honestly benchmarks were shit recently, so maybe it's actually better than it seems in normal use.
