xAI's model reference says "Grok 4.7. It is the most capable model we’ve built." and documents context, pricing and API model names only. Searched the body for self-host, download, open source and weights: none.

xAI release notes announce "Grok 4.7, SpaceXAI's frontier model for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, is now available on the xAI API as" grok-4.7, and still list "Grok 4.20 and Grok 4.20 Multi-agent are live". Searched the body for open weights, weights, download and open source: none, so no weight, code or license release accompanies either entry.
Adoption
5 low confidenceGrok is offered through the xAI API, grok.com and X. xAI publishes no per-model usage or user figure, so this reading is a judgment about those surfaces' reach rather than a measured count. The consumer chat app, grok-app, is a separate product.

xAI's model reference headlines "Meet grok-4.6 ... Our flagship model for code and everything else - agentic tool calling", and lists grok-4.3, grok-4.5 and grok-4.6 alongside the older grok-4.20. No user, usage or per-model traffic figure appears anywhere on it. The URL now redirects to /developers/models.

Capability
4 high confidenceThis score reads Grok 4.7, xAI's current flagship. It is well above the median on the Artificial Analysis index but behind the leading group of Claude, GPT-6, Gemini 4 and Muse Spark models, about eleven points under Claude Opus 5.5, which puts it a step below Claude Opus rather than among the frontier leaders.
