Grok 4.7 on OpenRouter: Hermes Model Switch
Quick answer: Find Grok 4.7 on OpenRouter, pick x-ai/grok-4.7 in Hermes Agent, set effort to medium if that is what you use, then type continue to resume the task. Charts and plan prices in the recording are snapshots, not live quotes.
OpenRouter keys and free-model caps are on OpenRouter setup. Hermes install is on Hermes Desktop. Choosing models in general is how to choose an AI model.
What the recording shows
The 11 November 2026 video walks Grok 4.7 as a new xAI model for coding and knowledge work, then switches to it in Hermes through OpenRouter. Spoken scores, token prices and plan fees are the creator reading vendor pages on that day. This guide does not treat them as current facts. Check the live pages before you spend.
Vendor pages as they appeared
The recording opens an xAI news page with a CursorBench 4.0 chart. Grok 4.7 sits on that chart with an average-cost label of $4.69 per task. Other models are plotted on the same axes. Those labels are from the recording, not a live quote.
A later slide on the same site compares professional knowledge work scores. The highlighted line says Grok 4.7 is better at creating documents and presentations. Again, that is the page as it looked on camera.
Spoken context sizes in the recording are a 256,000 standard window and 500,000 long context. Availability named on camera includes Cursor, Grok build, the Grok API, OpenRouter and other routers. Confirm those on the vendor sites.
Switch the model in Hermes
Search OpenRouter for Grok 4.7. The recording then opens Hermes Agent and uses the model picker. The highlighted row is x-ai/grok-4.7. Effort is set to medium.
To resume the unfinished task, the recording types:
continueThe task on camera was fixing a Grok CLI that had been pointed at a Vercel AI gateway. Hermes looked up docs after reporting that no API key was present. This page does not show the keys screen from later in the video.
Plans page in the recording
grok.com/plans in the recording still titled the page around Grok 4.6. Visible monthly prices on that page in the recording are SuperGrok Lite $10, SuperGrok $30, SuperGrok Plus $100 and SuperGrok Heavy $300. The recording prefers a subscription over API credits for Grok Bot. Those figures are historical for that capture. Check the live plans page.
If GrokBot credits are the problem you came here to solve, read GrokBot credit usage first. A job-application bot is GrokBot job application agent.
OpenRouter logs and index
With the Hermes run going through OpenRouter, the recording opens Activity and reads input tokens, output tokens and cost for that call. It then opens the Grok 4.7 benchmarks page. An Intelligence Index of 46.4 and “better than 92% of models compared” are on that page in the recording. The coding index list in the recording did not yet show Grok 4.7. Speed commentary in the video calls extra-high mode slow relative to the models on that chart. None of those numbers are verified here.
Near the end, authorizing Grok build still left Grok 4.6 in the official CLI. The working 4.7 path on camera stayed in Hermes. Token views for Claude Code and Codex on Windows are on Herdr on Windows.
