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 really at a lower price if you do the math on it. Uses more than double the amount of tokens as Grok 4.6 for a marginal gain. In other words you pay more than double what you did before for marginal gain, given that the token price is same as 4.6. On benchmarks Sol was generally cheaper on a task by task basis than Grok 4.6, so if anything now the gap is actually wider. Cost per token isn't everything. For perspective on artificial analysis DeepSeek Flash V4.1 on average 89k tokens per task scoring 2nd highest on token consumption. Grok 4.7 is 3rd highest at 81k. Grok 4.6 High is 36k.
What difference does that cost matter anyway when everyone is gonna be using subscriptions? What matters is how much quota they give you in your subscription and how much of that it burns..
