Merge Gateway adds xAI Grok 4.7
Merge has announced that xAI's Grok 4.7 is now available on Merge Gateway, its unified API platform offering smart routing, fallbacks, caching, and spend visibility across AI models. The update emphasizes substantial gains in code generation and reasoning, with Grok 4.7 scoring 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 compared to 40.4% for Grok 4.6, alongside a 71.0% mark on DeepSWE v1.1.
While gateway providers routinely add new LLMs to stay competitive, xAI's consistent upward trajectory in coding benchmarks positions Grok 4.7 as an increasingly serious contender against market leaders in developer tooling.
- –Grok 4.7's jump to 46.3% on CursorBench 4.0 marks a meaningful ~6-point improvement over Grok 4.6, reflecting focused optimization on agentic software development.
- –The 71.0% score on DeepSWE v1.1 underscores stronger repository-level issue resolution and reasoning capabilities.
- –Direct availability on unified gateways like Merge lowers switching costs, enabling teams to evaluate and route to Grok without modifying client code or managing separate vendor contracts.
- –Gateway adoption provides vital distribution for xAI against established incumbent APIs from Anthropic and OpenAI.
