Why

xAI released Grok 4.7 on 2026-09-21 as grok-4.7. Splitrail gained Grok 4.6 in #257, but a grok-4.7 row has no entry to resolve against, so it falls through to the unknown-model path and contributes nothing to a user's totals.

xAI held pricing flat across the capability bump: Grok 4.7's published schedule is identical to Grok 4.6's, including the cached-input rates and the 200K long-prompt boundary. That makes the model addition data-only.

Adding it surfaced an off-by-one in how every xAI entry encodes that boundary (flagged by CodeRabbit on this PR, verified against the pricing page below), so this PR fixes it for the whole xAI section rather than copying the bug into one more model.

What changed

  • Add grok-4.7 with the schedule xAI publishes for it:
Prompt size Input Cached input Output
< 200K $2.00 $0.50 $6.00
≥ 200K $4.00 $1.00 $12.00
  • Move all 16 xAI tier boundaries (short tier of both pricing and caching, across all 8 xAI models) from Some(200_000) to Some(199_999), so that a prompt of exactly 200,000 tokens bills at the long-context rate.
  • Extend xai_standard_pricing_uses_context_tiers_and_aliases with Grok 4.7 coverage, plus an exact-200,000-token probe for every tiered xAI model.

No aliases are added, matching Grok 4.5 and 4.6, which register only their canonical names. OpenRouter-style x-ai/grok-4.7 already resolves through the existing provider-prefix strip in get_model_info.

The 200K boundary

xAI labels every long-context tier on https://docs.x.ai/developers/pricing as "Long context ≥ 200k tokens", and states that long rates apply "once its prompt reaches the model's long context threshold". A 200,000-token prompt is therefore long.

find_tier treats a limit as inclusive (Some(limit) if tokens <= limit), so Some(200_000) put exactly 200,000 tokens in the short tier and billed it at half price. Some(199_999) is the inclusive spelling of xAI's rule.

The fix is scoped to the xAI section on purpose. The 5 Some(200_000) limits that remain in the file belong to vendors that publish "> 200K" boundaries, where the inclusive short tier is correct. find_tier itself is unchanged, because changing its semantics would silently move every other vendor's boundary. A section-header comment records this so the two spellings are not "unified" later.

Practical impact is small: it affects only requests whose context lands on exactly 200,000 tokens. It is still wrong, and a test now pins it.

Why the new probe is needed

The existing 199,999 and 200,001 probes pass whether the boundary is inclusive or exclusive, so they could never catch this. The new loop asserts the long-tier total at exactly 200,000 for all 8 tiered xAI models, so reverting any single model to Some(200_000) fails the test.

The Grok 4.7 literals are written out, not shared with Grok 4.6, and the tests assert absolute values against grok-4.7 rather than comparing it to 4.6. If xAI later diverges the two, a 4.7-only price change fails loudly instead of silently agreeing with whatever 4.6 is at the time.

Provenance

Covered by the existing xAI section source, https://docs.x.ai/developers/pricing, which #258 established as the canonical list for every entry in the section.

Out of scope

  • The Grok 4.7 Fast variant ($4/$12 below 200K). xAI lists it as Cursor and Grok Build only, billed through those products, so it does not reach the API usage Splitrail reads.
  • US regional endpoint pricing (1.1x). Splitrail has no regional-endpoint signal to select it with.

  • cargo test --quiet

Walkthrough

The change adds the grok-4.7 model with tiered xAI pricing. Tests verify model registration, costs below and above the 200,000-token boundary, and cache-write invariance.
