xAI's Grok 4.7 lands on Amazon Bedrock
A 500K-token window, four reasoning tiers. The top one roughly doubles output tokens per task.
The facts
- Grok 4.7 is available on Amazon Bedrock via cross-Region inference profiles (us.xai.grok-4.7 and global.xai.grok-4.7), supporting Responses, Chat Completions, InvokeModel and Converse APIs.
- It offers a 500K token context window and four configurable reasoning effort levels: low, medium, high (the default) and xhigh.
- Artificial Analysis reports Grok 4.7 scores 46 on its Intelligence Index versus 44 for Grok 4.6, and 56 versus 47 on its Coding Agent Index, at xhigh effort.
- Artificial Analysis also reports the intelligence gains come with roughly double the output tokens per task (~81k vs ~38k) and a lower hallucination rate on AA-Omniscience (29% vs 34%).
- Bedrock supports the model with implicit prompt caching, Guardrails, structured JSON Schema outputs, and CloudWatch invocation logging including reasoning token counts.
- Pricing has three service tiers: Standard (pay-per-token), Priority (premium, faster) and Flex (lower-cost, non-time-sensitive).
xAI's Grok 4.7 is now on Amazon Bedrock. AWS customers get what xAI calls its most capable model yet for coding and knowledge work. The model ships with a 500K token context window and four reasoning effort levels — low, medium, high and xhigh. It is served through cross-Region inference profiles rather than a bare model ID. It supports the Responses, Chat Completions, InvokeModel and Converse APIs. Teams already using OpenAI-compatible clients or AWS's own SDK can both reach it.
xAI says the model was trained on a new, larger base. The reinforcement learning run was longer, too, and weighted toward tasks that take many hours to complete. The result, xAI says, is a model that verifies its own output before moving on and makes better use of long context. That self-checking behaviour matters most for agents. A model that catches its own mistakes mid-task tends not to compound an early error through dozens of later steps. xAI also reports a rebuilt safeguard stack. It says the stack allows only a small fraction of risky dual-use cyber security prompts through, while rarely blocking legitimate work. It has begun giving selected security partners invite-only red-team access.
Artificial Analysis, which runs independent evaluations rather than taking vendor numbers at face value, reports Grok 4.7 improving across its suite. Its Intelligence Index rose to 46 from 44 for Grok 4.6. Its Coding Agent Index rose to 56 from 47. The largest single gains came on long-horizon agentic knowledge work: an Elo of 1,657 on its AA-Briefcase benchmark, up from 1,546. Hallucination rates fell too, to 29% on AA-Omniscience from 34%. But the same evaluation puts output tokens per Intelligence Index task at roughly 81,000. That is more than double Grok 4.6's roughly 38,000, all measured at the xhigh reasoning setting.
On Bedrock, the model supports implicit prompt caching for repeated prompt prefixes. It also gets Guardrails for content filtering and PII redaction, structured JSON Schema outputs, and CloudWatch invocation logging that captures reasoning token counts — useful for auditing long, unattended agent runs. Two inference profiles are on offer. A Global profile, priced lower, routes requests to any supported commercial Region. A US geographic profile serves data-residency or latency-sensitive traffic instead. Pricing runs on three service tiers — Standard, Priority and Flex — set per request.
Why it matters
The token-cost tradeoff is the number to plan around. Doubling output tokens for a two-point Intelligence Index gain means teams should set reasoning effort deliberately per call. Don't just inherit the high default, especially for latency-sensitive or high-volume traffic. Bedrock's packaging — Guardrails, structured outputs, invocation logging — signals AWS is positioning Grok 4.7 for production agent pipelines, not just chat. That puts pressure on rival hosted coding-agent offerings to match the audit and cost controls, not just the benchmark scores.
