Status: Delivered · Late · 5 days late. It happened — eventually.

On the evening of September 1 2026, Elon Musk quote-tweeted Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke praising Grok 4.6 and wrote that Grok 4.7 comes out in 10 days. That dates the public release promise to about September 11 2026. It is a near-term xAI model ship date, separate from earlier Grok 4.6 and Grok 5 cards.
