Which should you choose?
Which is better: GPT-6 Luna or Grok 4.7?
GPT-6 Luna is the better all-round choice, scoring 78/100 against Grok 4.7 (61). It leads on capability, price and context window. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%. Capability uses the average of shared benchmarks (GPQA Diamond, FrontierMath Tiers 1–3, OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 and SimpleQA Verified), because GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 has no Capabilities Index score yet.
Which is cheaper, GPT-6 Luna or Grok 4.7?
GPT-6 Luna is cheaper at $0.10 input / $0.50 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price). Grok 4.7 costs $2.00 input / $6.00 output per million tokens (official xAI API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.20 per million tokens for GPT-6 Luna versus $3.00 for Grok 4.7 (15× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
Not every model here has a Capabilities Index score, so we compare the average of shared benchmarks (GPQA Diamond, FrontierMath Tiers 1–3, OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 and SimpleQA Verified): GPT-6 Luna 77.4% and Grok 4.7 74.9%. On individual benchmarks: GPQA Diamond — Grok 4.7 92.7%, GPT-6 Luna 90.5%; FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 — GPT-6 Luna 79.0%, Grok 4.7 53.0%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — GPT-6 Luna 98.9%, Grok 4.7 98.1%; SimpleQA Verified — Grok 4.7 56.0%, GPT-6 Luna 41.4%.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. On overall capability, GPT-6 Luna leads, which tends to carry over to coding, but test on your own codebase. Both support tool calling for agent workflows.
Which has the bigger context window?
GPT-6 Luna has the largest context window at 1,050,000 tokens, against 500,000 for Grok 4.7. Maximum output per response: GPT-6 Luna up to 128,000, Grok 4.7 up to 500,000 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
GPT-6 Luna accepts text, images and PDFs; Grok 4.7 accepts text, images and PDFs. They handle the same number of input types.
Are any of these open source?
No. GPT-6 Luna and Grok 4.7 are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.
Which is newer?
GPT-6 Luna is the newest, released Sep 22, 2026. Grok 4.7 came out Sep 21, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: GPT-6 Luna May 18, 2026, Grok 4.7 May 2026.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Oct 4, 2026.
