The headline benchmark

The catalogue puts Grok 4.7 Xhigh at 35.5 and Muse Wonder Max at 43.6 on its intelligence index. This is a substantial lead, not a near miss. Put another way, Grok 4.7 Xhigh would need 23% more on this index to draw level.

For context, that places Grok 4.7 Xhigh 38th and Muse Wonder Max 28th out of 109 scored models still on offer.

Neither model has a separate coding or math index recorded yet, so those narrower comparisons will have to wait for more data.

How fast they respond
