Grok 4.7 Rolls Out in GitHub Copilot

#GitHubCopilot#Grok#xAI#DeveloperTools

GitHub began rolling out xAI’s newly launched Grok 4.7 in GitHub Copilot.

Details

  • What it builds on: an evolution of Grok 4.6, designed for longer, more demanding coding and knowledge-work sessions
  • Rollout status: gradual, so availability may vary by user initially
  • Positioning: part of the same week’s wave of new coding-model releases across providers, following Grok 4.7’s public launch on xAI’s own platform

What happened next

Grok’s arrival in Copilot alongside GPT-6 Sol/Luna and Claude Opus 5.5 means Copilot users got same-week access to fresh releases from all three major model providers it supports.
