Grok 4.7 keeps the same per-token price but doubles cost per task

Story overview
On October 4, 2026, a DEV Community report noted that xAI's Grok 4.7 carries exactly the same per-token price as Grok 4.6: $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. On the price table alone, the two generations look identical in cost.
Per task, however, the picture changes. Artificial Analysis measured Grok 4.7 writing roughly 2.5 times as many tokens as its predecessor to complete the same task. Because billing accumulates by token, the cost per task rose from $1.86 to $3.74, close to double. The report frames this as the week the price table stopped telling users what they will actually pay.
So far the story is limited to the measurement and the comparison. The report does not include any response from xAI, does not explain why token output increased, and offers no word on future pricing or model changes.

Latest turnxAI's Grok 4.7 carries the same $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens as Grok 4.6. But Artificial Analysis measured it writing roughly 2.5x as many tokens per task, pushing the cost of one task from $1.86 to $3.74, so per-token price lists no longer predict what teams actually pay.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
