Grok 4.7

Grok 4.7 is SpaceXAI's flagship model for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, succeeding Grok 4.6. It is particularly strong at long-running software engineering tasks, verifying its own work, and managing long context, and it improves on its predecessor at professional knowledge work such as drafting documents and presentations.

The model was trained with a longer reinforcement learning run weighted toward problems that take many hours to complete, and natively understands the Grok Bot harness for conversational tasks. It ships with a new safeguard stack that pairs strong jailbreak resistance with low refusal rates for legitimate cybersecurity and biology work. SpaceXAI's reported benchmark results use the xhigh reasoning effort.

Grok Imagine Video

Grok Imagine Video is SpaceXAI's fast, text-, image-, and reference-conditioned video generation model. It produces short videos (1–15 seconds, 24 fps) at 480p or 720p across seven aspect ratios - 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3.

The model supports three generation modes: text-to-video from a prompt alone, image-to-video that animates a still input, and reference-to-video that grounds the output in up to seven reference images for consistent characters, styles, or settings.

Grok Imagine Image Quality

Grok Imagine Image Quality is SpaceXAI's fast, high-fidelity image generation and editing model. It accepts text prompts and optional reference images, producing photorealistic outputs at 1K or 2K across a range of aspect ratios, including flexible adjustment of reference images.

The model emphasizes realistic detail — natural lighting and physics, accurate textures, and consistent rendering of named entities such as brands, public figures, and specific locations. It supports clean multilingual text rendering inside images, making it the top choice for posters, packaging, ads, menus, and social graphics. When given reference images, it preserves identity and structure for product placement, brand-aligned variations, and character continuity across scenes.
