Grok 4.7, from SpaceXAI, was released yesterday. It was delayed by almost 2 weeks, but it eventually came out, and I had a chance to test it. There’s a tiny video you can watch, if you want to jump straight to the action.
If you prefer reading, here we go.
For the last few months, I’ve spend the majority of my time in the terminal. That’s where I fire up my agents and where 90% of my work is done. Getting out of there just to log what I did started to feel cumbersome. So I started to write these very simple files, like thursday-24-09-2026 where I would just edit with vi the things I’ve did. Soon, I added a simple visual cue: “x” in front of it, for a task done, “-” for something still going on.
So, when Grok 4.7 arrived, I thought: “why not testing it by building a proper shell agenda, based on the format of my files?”.
45 minutes later, the agenda.sh file, was ready. Written in pure bash, self-contained, highly portable (can run everywhere bash runs, being it mac, windows or linux). The repo link is in the video description, and the license is Apache 2.0, which basically means you can start using it now, for free.
From testing Grok 4.7 itself, I got 3 main takeaways:
- Better prompt adherence. It follows the instructions close and I find this positive: I don’t want the model to get creative when I already know the what I want to do.
- More thorough. It circles around the task and tries to see it from more angles, and that translates into higher confidence when it hands the file over.
- Greedy on tokens. I’m having a SuperGrok subscription, and I used high reasoning during testing, not high. I started the task at 14% of the weekly quota and ended at 54%. Forty percent of the week on forty-five minutes. Right now it is still heavy.
If you already tested Grok 4.7 on a real use cases, pleas leave a comment in the video, I check them all. And if you like the video, like share and subscribe!
