Grok 4.7 in Cursor: Pricing and Uses
Grok 4.7 is a frontier model from Cursor and SpaceXAI for coding and knowledge work, built on Grok 4.6 with stronger self-verification. It has a 256k window and 500k long context. Beyond the plan pool, standard speed costs $2 per million input tokens and $6 output; Fast costs $4 and $12.

Three claims carry the pitch. It stays with difficult, long-running work, it checks its own results more carefully than Grok 4.6A Cursor and SpaceXAI model for complex coding and knowledge work, still in the Cursor model pool and succeeded by Grok 4.7; it is a selectable model and is separate from the Grok Bot product. Press Enter for the full definition. does, and it manages longer context more reliably. The page does not say how the self-check works.
The two context numbers are easy to blur together. The 256k figure is the standard window, and the 500k figure is the long context, which is reachable but billed at higher rates once input passes 256k tokens. The pricing section below works through what that does to a bill.
Cursor's page publishes no benchmark figures for Grok 4.7Cursor and SpaceXAI's current lead Cursor model, in the weekly pool at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output, with a 256k context window and a 500k variant; above 256k input tokens it bills at 2x the standard rate.

Which effort levels and speed tiers does Grok 4.7 support?

Dollars per million tokens, up to a 500k window. The long-context rows apply the published 2x (Standard) and 3x-the-standard-rate (Fast) multipliers.
Long-context billing keys on input length alone. At or below 256k tokens of input, the full request uses the standard or Fast rates. Above 256k, the multiplier applies.
The consequence worth noticing is the cliff. A request with 250k tokens of input and one with 260k are nearly the same size, yet the second is billed at twice the standard rates. Long-context Standard ends up at the same per-token price as short-context Fast.
The step at the line is smaller for Fast. Fast input goes from $4 to $6, a 1.5x step, while Standard input goes from $2 to $4.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Grok 4.7 cost in Cursor?
Beyond the weekly pool of Cursor models, standard speed costs $2 per million input tokens, $0.50 cached input and $6 output. Fast costs $4, $1 and $12. Input over 256k tokens bills at 2x those rates for Standard and 3x the standard rates for Fast, up to a 500k window.
Which effort levels does Grok 4.7 support?
Four: xhigh, high (the default), medium and low. Effort levels are more separated than in Grok 4.6, so harder tasks spend more time thinking. Plus and the legacy Start plan are fixed at medium effort and standard speed.
Is Grok 4.7 included in my Cursor plan?
It draws from the weekly pool of Cursor models included with every paid plan, alongside Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5 and Composer 2.5. On legacy Cursor plans it draws from the monthly Cursor Models pool.
