Grok 4.7 doubles task cost despite unchanged token prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Grok 4.7, the latest model from SpaceXAI, maintains the same per-token pricing as its predecessor, Grok 4.6, at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. However, due to Grok 4.7 generating significantly more tokens per task, the effective cost per task has doubled, increasing from $1.86 to $3.74. While the launch announcement claimed it was twice as fast and half the price of comparable models, independent analysis indicates it is slower and more verbose than Grok 4.6, though it shows improved performance in long office tasks and coding. AI

IMPACT This analysis highlights how token pricing alone can be misleading, with increased verbosity doubling effective task costs and impacting developer budgets.
