How much do Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3 cost per month?

For an example workload of 20 million input tokens and 5 million output tokens per month: Grok 4.7: $70. MiniMax M3: $12. These are token-only estimates using the displayed rates, without caching discounts, additional tool charges or taxes. Actual bills depend on usage and endpoint pricing.

Which has a larger context window: Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3?

Grok 4.7: 500K tokens of context; maximum output 450K tokens. MiniMax M3: 1M tokens of context; maximum output 512K tokens. Context capacity and maximum output are separate limits. A larger context window allows more material in a request but does not guarantee more accurate answers.

Which is better for coding: Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3?

Grok 4.7: Artificial Analysis SciCode 57.4%. MiniMax M3: Artificial Analysis SciCode 47.1%. Compare coding results within the same evaluation, then test representative tasks from your own codebase. A missing score is not a zero, and a single benchmark does not establish the best model for every programming task.

How do Arena Elo, DesignArena, Intelligence Index and MMLU-Pro differ?

These evaluations measure different tasks and use different scales. Arena Elo and DesignArena ratings must remain separate, as must Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and MMLU-Pro. Compare models within the same evaluation rather than combining scores. Missing results are marked Not listed, not treated as measured zeroes.

Which responds faster: Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3?

Grok 4.7: Artificial Analysis output speed 83 tokens/s; time to first token 43.17 seconds. MiniMax M3: Artificial Analysis output speed 97 tokens/s; time to first token 2.03 seconds. Output speed measures generation throughput, while time to first token measures the initial wait. Real-world latency also depends on the API provider, request size and load; missing measurements cannot establish a speed winner.

Do Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3 support images, audio or video?

Grok 4.7: listed input formats: text, image, file; output formats: text. MiniMax M3: listed input formats: text, image, video; output formats: text. Input and output support are different capabilities: accepting an image does not mean a model generates images. Confirm formats and file limits for the endpoint you plan to use.

Can prompt caching reduce the cost of Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3?

Grok 4.7: cached input price $0.50 per million tokens. MiniMax M3: cached input price $0.06 per million tokens. Caching may reduce charges for eligible repeated input when supported by the endpoint. A listed cached rate does not guarantee every request qualifies; cache duration, minimum token counts and any write charges depend on the provider.

Are Grok 4.7 or MiniMax M3 available through an API?

Grok 4.7: catalog status active; API identifier grok-4.7; listed API hosts xAI, xAI, xAI, xAI, xAI. MiniMax M3: catalog status active; API identifier minimax-m3; listed API hosts not listed. Catalog status is not a live availability check. Before integrating, verify the provider's documentation, endpoint access, rate limits, regional availability and data-handling terms.
