Hacker News on Grok 4.7: 40% more weights at the same price, and Willison's SVG bicycle still can't find its pedals
The 582-point launch thread splits sharply. Commenter moojacob notes the model carries roughly 40% more weights than 4.6 at identical pricing and reads the delayed release as disappointing ahead of Opus 5.5, while also praising it for speaking "plain english" versus "Claudish" before worrying the RL run regressed its prose. Willison ran his standard pelican-style SVG test and reported bicycle geometry with the seat and pedals misplaced. Praise clusters on parallel tool calls, frontend work and legal research; the consensus is narrow competence at questionable overall value.
