From Mexico — this is AI-in-dev product news: where engineers pick the model for coding agents, not SoftBank bonds, Corridor benefits, or silicon M&A. GitHub’s changelog, the Cursor blog, and xAI (Sep 21) say Grok 4.7 is rolling into GitHub Copilot and is available in Cursor / Grok Build / the API — pitched for agentic coding and longer-running sessions. Soft chatbot race: I’m leading Copilot + Cursor availability, not a general frontier-model beauty contest.
GitHub Copilot — SKUs, IDEs, CLI, cloud agent
Per the GitHub changelog, Grok 4.7 is available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise. You select it in the model picker across Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Xcode, Eclipse, Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot cloud agent, and the GitHub Copilot app. Rollout is gradual — check back if you don’t see it yet. Copilot Business / Enterprise admins manage access through the model policy in Copilot settings; under default model enablement, new models turn on unless an admin disabled the global default or this model.
Cursor + xAI — same list price as 4.6
Cursor points to the full xAI announcement: Grok 4.7 is available in Cursor and Grok Build, and through the Grok API / third-party coding harnesses and routers. List pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens — same as Grok 4.6 per xAI. GitHub says Copilot bills Grok 4.7 at provider list pricing under usage-based billing (see Copilot models/pricing docs). I’m not inventing enterprise uptake or win rates.
Benchmarks — label as xAI
xAI pitches longer-running coding / knowledge work and cites CursorBench 4.0 among other benches for price-performance. Treat those scores as company-published, not independent audits — and don’t paste a scoreboard as proven superiority. Soft SoftBank / Corridor / Hailo / antitrust / Instructor / garak: different lanes entirely; this post stays on Copilot/Cursor for eng.
My takeaway
Agentic coding lives or dies on whether the model can stay useful across a long session inside the tools you already use. Grok 4.7 showing up in Copilot’s picker and in Cursor is the practical news — availability, SKUs, admin gates, and list price — not another chat-demo war. Whether it sticks for your repo is for your own evals after the rollout reaches you.
