Claude Opus 4.7

Claude Opus 4.7 is a hybrid reasoning large language model released by Anthropic on April 16, 2026 as the company's most capable generally available model at launch. It succeeds Claude Opus 4.6 in the Opus tier of the Claude 4 family, uses the API identifier claude-opus-4-7, and is built for long-horizon agentic work, advanced software engineering, and vision-heavy enterprise tasks. Anthropic introduced it by stating that "Opus 4.7 is a notable improvement on Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with particular gains on the most difficult tasks," and reported a SWE-bench Verified score of 87.6 percent, up from 80.8 percent for Opus 4.6, at unchanged pricing of $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.^[1]

Unusually, Anthropic shipped Opus 4.7 while publicly conceding that an unreleased, more capable model exists. The announcement states the model is "less broadly capable than our most powerful model, Claude Mythos Preview," which at launch was restricted to a vetted set of defenders under the company's Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative. This split between a generally available frontier model and a more capable invitation-only one drew wide press attention; Axios headlined its coverage with Anthropic's concession that Opus 4.7 trails the unreleased Mythos.^[1][5][6]

What is Claude Opus 4.7?

Claude Opus 4.7 is a hybrid reasoning large language model developed by Anthropic and announced on April 16, 2026. It was positioned as Anthropic's most capable generally available model at launch, succeeding Claude Opus 4.6 in the Opus tier of the Claude 4 family. It was itself superseded by Claude Opus 4.8 on May 28, 2026 and by Claude Opus 5 on July 24, 2026.^[53][54] The model targets long-horizon agentic work, advanced software engineering, vision-heavy workflows, and enterprise knowledge tasks that previously required close human supervision. Anthropic frames the practical bar plainly: "Users report being able to hand off their hardest coding work, the kind that previously needed close supervision, to Opus 4.7 with confidence."^[1][2]

Opus 4.7 supports a 1 million token context window at standard API pricing, a 128,000 token maximum output, adaptive thinking, and high-resolution image understanding. It is offered through the Claude consumer apps, the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry. The release came about a week after Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a defensive cybersecurity initiative built around the more capable but unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model.^[1][3][4]

At launch Anthropic stated that Opus 4.7 outperforms Opus 4.6 across coding, multidisciplinary reasoning, scaled tool use, and agentic computer use. The company also publicly conceded that the unreleased Mythos Preview is more broadly capable. Opus 4.7 is intended to be the production model that customers can deploy at scale; at launch, Mythos Preview was invitation-only inside Project Glasswing. This split between a generally available frontier model and a more capable invitation-only model was widely discussed by AI press at launch.^[5][6]

The model uses the API identifier claude-opus-4-7. It is the fifth Opus model of the Claude 4 generation, after Claude Opus 4, Claude Opus 4.1, Claude Opus 4.5, and Claude Opus 4.6, and the ninth Claude 4 model overall when also counting Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Haiku 4.5. On launch day the model was live across claude.ai, the API, Bedrock, Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot within hours of the announcement.^[7][16]

In the five weeks following launch, Anthropic extended the Opus 4.7 surface with Fast Mode (a higher-throughput tier that became the default for the Claude Code /fast command on May 14, 2026) and graduated Claude Security from research preview to public beta on May 1, 2026 with Opus 4.7 as its underlying engine. The model also became the anchor of a broad partner program covering CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, TrendAI, and Wiz, with consulting partners Accenture, BCG, Deloitte, Infosys, and PwC building deployment practices around it. At Anthropic's Code w/ Claude SF 2026 conference on May 6, 2026 the company doubled Claude Code five-hour rate limits, raised Opus API limits, announced a SpaceX Colossus 1 compute deal worth more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs and 300 megawatts, and shipped a major Managed Agents expansion (Dreaming, Outcomes, Multiagent Orchestration, Webhooks). The following week brought Claude for Microsoft 365 general availability, the Claude Platform on AWS, Claude for Small Business, and an expanded PwC alliance covering 30,000 trained professionals.^{[31][32][33][42][44][46][48][50][51]}

When was Claude Opus 4.7 released?

Claude Opus 4.7 was released on April 16, 2026, roughly two months after Claude Opus 4.6 (February 5, 2026) and almost one year after Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 (May 22, 2025). It uses the API model identifier claude-opus-4-7 with no date suffix; from the 4.6 generation onward Anthropic adopted dateless pinned snapshot identifiers rather than the previous YYYYMMDD-suffixed format.^[1][2]

The Opus subfamily progression to date is summarized below.

At the time of release, the rest of the Claude family included Claude Sonnet 4.6 (released February 17, 2026) and Claude Haiku 4.5 (released October 15, 2025). Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4 from May 2025 were deprecated on April 14, 2026 and retired on June 15, 2026.^[55]

The roughly ten-week gap between Opus 4.6 and Opus 4.7 was similar to the gap between Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6. The release's main engineering changes were a new tokenizer, a high-resolution vision pipeline, and the consolidation of adaptive thinking as the only thinking-on mode.^[7]

Post-launch updates through mid-May 2026 expanded the Opus 4.7 surface without changing the underlying model identifier. The most consequential additions were the public beta of Claude Security on May 1, 2026, the promotion of Opus 4.7 to the default Fast Mode model in Claude Code on May 14, 2026, the deployment of Opus 4.7 inside the CrowdStrike Falcon platform announced on April 30, 2026 as part of Project QuiltWorks, and the release of GPT-5.5 by OpenAI on April 23, 2026 as the most direct closed-frontier competitor.^{[31][32][33][34]}

Technical specifications

The model exposes the same Anthropic Messages API surface as earlier Claude 4 models, with a small set of breaking changes (see API changes below). The published specifications are summarized in the table.

Anthropic recommends increasing max_tokens headroom and compaction triggers when migrating from Opus 4.6 to absorb the higher token consumption.^[2][7]

A MindStudio review reported that non-Latin scripts such as Mandarin, Japanese, and Arabic became roughly 20 to 35 percent more token-efficient, while typical English prompts grew by 12 to 18 percent. Anthropic's own documentation describes the change only as roughly 1.0x to 1.35x as many tokens as previous models, with efficiency varying by workload.^[7][30]

How much does Claude Opus 4.7 cost?

Opus 4.7 launched at the same per-token rates as Opus 4.6: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. There is no long-context premium: a request that fills the full 1 million token window is billed at the same per-token rate as a small request, a deliberate change from the tiered long-context pricing introduced with Opus 4.6 in beta.^[1][2][8]

Because the new tokenizer can produce up to about 35 percent more tokens for the same source English text, third-party analyses noted that the effective per-task cost can rise even though the per-token rate is unchanged. Anthropic suggests using prompt engineering, the new task budgets feature, and lower effort levels to control real-world spend. Finout's analysis of the pricing change framed it as a quiet cost increase masked by an unchanged sticker price; MindStudio's review argued that non-Latin-script workloads could become cheaper.^[7][8][30]

Artificial Analysis listed Opus 4.7 (max effort) at a blended price of $10.94 per million tokens in May 2026, using its standard 3:1 input-to-output ratio and an input price of $6.25 per million tokens.^[24]

Fast Mode is priced at six times the standard rate, $30 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens, in exchange for roughly 2.5x higher output throughput. Third-party reviewers were unanimous that Fast Mode is not worth the premium for batch processing, asynchronous agent loops, or CI pipelines where total wall-clock latency does not matter; the use case Anthropic and reviewers converged on was interactive coding sessions in which a developer is watching the model generate output in real time.^[31][35]

Where is Claude Opus 4.7 available?

Claude Opus 4.7 is available across the following surfaces at launch:

On Bedrock, Anthropic offers a zero operator access guarantee in which prompts and responses are not visible to AWS or Anthropic operators. The platform also exposes Opus 4.7 through the Converse API, the Invoke API, the AWS CLI bedrock-runtime endpoint, and an OpenAI-compatible Responses API.^[3]

GitHub initially priced the model at a 7.5x premium request multiplier in Copilot during a promotional window through April 30, 2026, after which the multiplier was raised to 15x. GitHub said that over the following weeks Opus 4.7 would replace Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6 in the model picker for Copilot Pro+. Snowflake added Cortex AI access on launch day as a public preview in the US and EU, inside the Snowflake security perimeter.^[16][26]

Architecture

Anthropic does not publish full architectural details for Claude models, including parameter count, training compute, or training corpus composition. Public documentation describes Opus 4.7 as a hybrid reasoning system: a single model that can answer quickly for simple requests and switch into longer chain-of-thought reasoning for harder problems through adaptive thinking. The model uses the same broad architecture as the rest of the Claude 4 generation, with refinements in instruction following, tool use, and memory.^[1][2]

A few public technical details are confirmed in the model card and platform documentation:

• Opus 4.7 ships with a new tokenizer that contributes to its accuracy gains across many tasks but increases the token count for the same source text by up to roughly 35 percent for English. Anthropic's documentation gives the range as roughly 1.0x to 1.35x as many tokens as previous models, varying by content; one independent review (MindStudio) reported that non-Latin scripts became more token-efficient.^[7][30]
• The model uses interleaved thinking when adaptive thinking is enabled; reasoning steps and tool calls can interleave inside a single agent turn, allowing the model to think, call a tool, observe the tool result, think again, and continue without breaking the trace into separate turns.^[9]
• Vision is handled at native resolution up to 2,576 pixels on the long edge, with model coordinates that map 1:1 to actual image pixels rather than to internal patch coordinates.^[7]
• Anthropic experimented with differential reduction of cyber-offensive capabilities during training so that Opus 4.7 can be released widely while the more capable Mythos Preview is restricted to vetted defensive users.^[5][10]
• The model is served on a new Bedrock-side inference engine that AWS describes as having improved scheduling and scaling logic, intended to support sustained agentic workloads with long context and many tool calls per session.^[3]

Like previous Claude 4 models, Opus 4.7 was trained with a constitutional AI approach that combines reinforcement learning from human feedback with rules and principles applied in self-critique and revision. The 232-page system card covers RSP evaluations, cyber, safeguards and harmlessness, agentic safety, an alignment assessment (including an automated behavioral audit), model welfare, and capabilities.^[19][22]

How good is Claude Opus 4.7? Benchmarks

Anthropic published benchmark numbers for Opus 4.7 alongside the Mythos Preview, Opus 4.6, OpenAI's GPT-5 family (specifically GPT-5.4), and Google's Gemini 3 line (Gemini 3.1 Pro). Aggregators including Vellum and llm-stats republished and analyzed the headline figures, while Artificial Analysis and LMArena ran their own independent evaluations. The single most-cited result was the SWE-bench Verified jump from 80.8 percent on Opus 4.6 to 87.6 percent on Opus 4.7, the largest single-release coding gain in the Opus subfamily. The selection below focuses on the most widely cited results at launch.^{[1][6][11][12]}

Coding benchmarks

An early-access customer quoted in the launch post reported that Opus 4.7 lifted resolution by 13 percent over Opus 4.6 on its 93-task coding benchmark, including four tasks that neither Opus 4.6 nor Sonnet 4.6 could solve. Customer testimonials in the launch post described "3x more production tasks" resolved on the Rakuten-SWE-Bench harness and a 70 percent pass rate on CursorBench, up from 58 percent for the prior model. The LMArena Code Arena ranking placed Opus 4.7 first overall, ahead of Opus 4.6 by about 37 Elo and ahead of the next non-Anthropic model (GLM-5.1) by 46 Elo, with first-place finishes on both the React and HTML sub-leaderboards.^[1][13][27]

Reasoning benchmarks

Unless otherwise noted, the system card's results use adaptive thinking at max effort with default sampling settings, averaged over five trials. The system card describes AIME as "now saturated" and instead reports the proof-based USAMO 2026, held after Opus 4.7's training data cutoff, on which Opus 4.7 scored 69.3 percent (averaged over 10 attempts per problem).^[22]

Agentic and tool use benchmarks

MCP-Atlas measures coverage of the Model Context Protocol tool ecosystem and is reported as best-in-class for Opus 4.7 among generally available models. BrowseComp is a regression relative to Opus 4.6; on Anthropic's own table GPT-5.4 Pro, Mythos Preview, and Gemini 3.1 Pro all score higher on it. GDPval-AA, a third-party Elo-style evaluation of economically valuable knowledge work run by Artificial Analysis, placed Opus 4.7 first at launch with 1753 Elo against 1674 for GPT-5.4.^[1][11][12]

Vision benchmarks

The XBOW visual-acuity result is the largest single-benchmark jump in the launch and is attributed to the new high-resolution image pipeline. The benchmark, maintained by autonomous-pentest startup XBOW, measures whether a model can correctly read text and small UI elements in dense screenshots; the jump from 54.5 percent on Opus 4.6 to 98.5 percent on Opus 4.7 effectively turns it from a meaningful evaluation into a saturated one for the new model.^[1][11]

Domain-specific evaluations

Third parties reported strong gains on industry-specific benchmarks. On Harvey's BigLaw Bench, Opus 4.7 scored 90.9 percent at high effort, the highest score of any Claude model in Harvey to date, with 45 percent of tasks earning perfect scores and 88 percent at or above 0.80. On Notion's internal multi-step workflow evaluation, Opus 4.7 scored about 14 percent higher than Opus 4.6 while using fewer tokens and producing a third of the tool errors. A VP of Technology at a financial technology platform, quoted in Anthropic's launch post, described the model as catching its own logical faults during the planning phase and accelerating execution.^[1][23]

LMArena and intelligence indices

LMArena (formerly LMSYS Chatbot Arena) ranked Opus 4.7 (Thinking) first overall, ahead of Opus 4.6 (Thinking) at second. Opus 4.7 took first place on the overall, expert, and code arenas, and second on creative writing. In Code Arena it led Opus 4.6 by 37 points and the top non-Anthropic model, GLM-5.1 (fourth), by 46 points.^[27]

Artificial Analysis listed Opus 4.7 (max effort) at third on its Intelligence Index leaderboard with a score of 57, tied with Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, behind GPT-5.5 (xhigh) at 60 and GPT-5.5 (high) at 59. In mid-May 2026 the site measured output speed at about 66 tokens per second at max effort; such speed figures fluctuate over time.^[24]

How does Claude Opus 4.7 compare to GPT-5.5?

GPT-5.5 from OpenAI launched on April 23, 2026, exactly one week after Opus 4.7, and quickly became the most-compared rival. Across ten shared benchmarks, third-party aggregators reported Opus 4.7 leading on six and GPT-5.5 leading on four, with most margins between two and thirteen points. The benchmark split reflects the two labs' differing emphasis: Opus 4.7 doubled down on coding precision and instruction following, while GPT-5.5 invested in autonomous workflow execution and frontier mathematics.^[36][37][38]

GPT-5.5 prices input tokens at the same $5 per million as Opus 4.7 but charges $30 per million output tokens against Opus 4.7's $25, making it modestly more expensive for typical agentic workloads where output tokens dominate. Reviewers at DataCamp, Lushbinary, and llm-stats converged on a similar split decision: Opus 4.7 for software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and computer-use tasks where the high-resolution vision pipeline matters; GPT-5.5 for open-web research, terminal-heavy DevOps automation, and the hardest research mathematics.^[36][37][38]

What is new in Claude Opus 4.7?

Adaptive thinking and effort levels

Opus 4.7 makes adaptive thinking the only supported thinking-on mode. The earlier extended-thinking option that let developers set a fixed budget_tokens value was removed; requests with the old syntax now return a 400 error. Adaptive thinking lets the model decide turn-by-turn how long to reason, including using interleaved thinking that mixes reasoning steps with tool calls inside a single agent loop.^[7][9]

Adaptive thinking is off by default. To enable it, callers set thinking: {"type": "adaptive"} and choose an effort level on the output config:

The xhigh ("extra high") effort level is new in Opus 4.7 and sits between high and max, which Anthropic describes as "giving users finer control over the tradeoff between reasoning and latency on hard problems." Claude Code's official guidance recommends xhigh as the default for most agentic coding tasks and max only for the hardest problems. Effort is the primary lever for trading capability against cost on Opus 4.7. Anthropic states that in its internal evaluations adaptive thinking reliably outperforms the older extended-thinking interface.^[1][14]

Task budgets (beta)

Opus 4.7 introduces task budgets, a new field on the output config that gives Claude a soft target for total tokens across an agentic loop, including thinking, tool calls, tool results, and final output. The model can see a running countdown and uses it to prioritize work and finish gracefully as the budget is consumed. Task budgets are advisory rather than hard caps, while max_tokens continues to act as a hard per-request ceiling. The minimum task budget is 20,000 tokens, and the feature requires the task-budgets-2026-03-13 beta header.^[7]

The distinction between task_budget and max_tokens is important. The model is aware of task_budget and uses it to scope work; it is unaware of max_tokens, which simply truncates output if hit. Anthropic recommends not setting a task budget at all for open-ended agentic tasks where quality matters more than speed; task budgets are intended for workloads where the operator wants the model to self-moderate around a known token allowance, for example a CI pipeline that must finish in a fixed time window.^[7]

High-resolution vision

Opus 4.7 is the first Claude model with high-resolution image support. Maximum input resolution rises to 2,576 pixels on the long edge (about 3.75 megapixels) from the previous limit of 1,568 pixels (about 1.15 megapixels). Coordinates returned by the model now map 1:1 to pixels, which removes the scale-factor math previously required for tasks like clicking on UI elements during computer use. Anthropic also reports gains on low-level perception tasks such as pointing, measuring, counting, and natural-image bounding-box localization.^[7]

The practical effects of the higher resolution show up most clearly in two places. Computer use traces for desktop applications with small UI elements (toolbar buttons, table cells, dropdown menus) are far more reliable. Document understanding for technical content with small text or dense diagrams improves substantially; the CharXiv benchmark for scientific chart and figure understanding rose from 69.1 percent to 82.1 percent without tools and from 84.7 percent to 91.0 percent with tools. The XBOW visual acuity benchmark, which tests whether a model can read text in screenshots at native resolution, jumped from 54.5 percent to 98.5 percent.^[7][11]

Memory tool and file-system memory

Opus 4.7 is described as meaningfully better at writing and using file-system-based memory across long, multi-session work. Anthropic provides a managed memory tool that gives an agent a scratchpad without requiring the developer to build their own storage. The model uses memory to retain prior work and operate with less upfront context on later turns.^[7][1]

In practice this changes how agentic systems are built. Rather than packing every prior interaction into the current request, an Opus 4.7 agent can maintain a structured set of notes in a file system that it consults when starting a new session. Anthropic's documentation says agents that maintain a scratchpad or notes file should improve at jotting down notes to themselves and leveraging those notes in future tasks.^[7]

Knowledge work improvements

The release notes call out specific gains on tasks where the model verifies its own outputs visually:

Anthropic recommends removing existing scaffolding such as "double-check the slide layout before returning" and re-baselining, since the model now performs this verification on its own. On GDPval-AA, a third-party Elo-style benchmark for economically valuable knowledge work run by Artificial Analysis, Anthropic's launch charts showed Opus 4.7 at 1753 Elo, ahead of GPT-5.4 at 1674 and Opus 4.6 at 1619.^[1][24]

Fast Mode

Fast Mode is a higher-throughput tier introduced for Opus 4.6 in February 2026 and promoted to default Fast Mode model for Opus 4.7 on May 14, 2026. The tier runs the same model with a faster inference configuration that delivers up to roughly 2.5x the standard output rate, climbing from about 61 tokens per second at standard rates to approximately 150 tokens per second. The list price is six times the standard rate, $30 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens.^[31][35]

Fast Mode is exposed through three surfaces. On the Claude API, callers keep the claude-opus-4-7 model ID and set speed: "fast" on the request with the fast-mode beta header, under the same Messages API contract as the standard model. Claude Code exposes Fast Mode through the /fast slash command, which as of May 14, 2026 automatically dispatches to Opus 4.7 unless overridden. OpenRouter exposes the variant as claude-opus-4.7-fast for callers who want to mix providers behind a unified API.^[31][35]

Independent reviewers were skeptical of the price-to-value trade in most cases. A typical recommendation is to limit Fast Mode to interactive sessions where a developer is watching tokens stream, and to keep batch processing, scheduled agent runs, and asynchronous CI pipelines on the standard tier. The Anthropic documentation echoes this guidance.^[31][35] Fast mode later moved to newer models: as of November 2026 Anthropic's documentation lists it only for Claude Opus 4.8, Opus 5, and Opus 5.5.

API changes and removals

Several changes to the Messages API affect anyone migrating from Opus 4.6:^[7]

• Extended thinking with budget_tokens is removed and now returns 400.
• The sampling parameters temperature, top_p, and top_k are removed and now return 400. Callers must steer behavior with prompting instead.
• Thinking content is omitted from responses by default. Thinking blocks still appear in the stream but the thinking field is empty unless the caller sets display: "summarized" (or any non-default display value).
• Token counts from /v1/messages/count_tokens differ from Opus 4.6 because of the new tokenizer.
• Assistant message prefilling, removed in Opus 4.6, remains unsupported. Operators who used prefill steering should use structured outputs or system-prompt instructions.

These changes apply to the Messages API directly. Customers using Claude Managed Agents do not need to update API calls; the platform handles the new defaults. The Claude API skill in Claude Code and the Agent SDK can apply migration steps to a codebase automatically.^[7]

Behavior changes

Anthropic notes several non-breaking behavior shifts that may require prompt updates:^[7]

• More literal instruction following, especially at lower effort levels. The model no longer silently generalizes a single example to other items, and it will not infer requests the user did not make.
• Response length calibrates to perceived task complexity rather than defaulting to a fixed verbosity.
• Fewer tool calls by default, with the model leaning more on internal reasoning. Raising effort increases tool use.
• More direct, opinionated tone with less validation-forward phrasing and fewer emoji than Opus 4.6's warmer style.
• More frequent progress updates during long agentic traces.
• Fewer subagents spawned by default, steerable through prompting.
• Real-time cybersecurity safeguards that may refuse high-risk requests outside the Cyber Verification Program.

The shift toward more literal instruction following is particularly visible in coding agents. Opus 4.6 would often expand a one-line description into a fuller plan; Opus 4.7 tends to do exactly what was asked and ask for clarification when the request is ambiguous. Several developer reviews described this as making the model a better delegated engineer at the cost of feeling slightly less helpful for free-form chat.^[14][30]

What is Claude Opus 4.7 used for?

Software engineering and Claude Code

At launch, Claude Opus 4.7 was the headline model for Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal-first coding agent. Opus 4.7 requires Claude Code v2.1.111 or later; users upgrade with claude update. The agent uses the model's 1 million token context to hold large codebases in memory and uses the new memory tool to keep notes across sessions. Claude Code's documentation recommends xhigh effort by default and treating Opus 4.7 like a delegated engineer rather than a pair programmer, with intent, constraints, acceptance criteria, and file locations specified upfront.^[14][15]

Claude Code added two related features at the same time as Opus 4.7. The /ultrareview slash command produces a dedicated review session that reads through changes and flags bugs and design issues, and Pro and Max users received three free ultrareviews. Auto mode, a permissions option in which Claude makes decisions on the user's behalf so longer tasks run with fewer interruptions, was extended to Max users as a research preview.^[1][14]

In May 2026 Claude Code received an additional round of polish centered on Opus 4.7. The May 14 release made Opus 4.7 the default model behind the /fast slash command, surfaced LSP servers provided by plugins through claude plugin details, and treated plugins with a top-level SKILL.md as first-class skills without requiring a skills/ subdirectory. The same release improved background sessions, daemon reliability, MCP transport handling, and the macOS sleep-and-wake path for long-running agent runs.^[31][33]

The model also powers third-party coding products. GitHub Copilot made Opus 4.7 generally available on the same day as Anthropic's announcement, with selection across Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Xcode, Eclipse, the Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot Cloud Agent, github.com, and mobile apps. The launch came with a 7.5x premium request multiplier on promotional pricing through April 30, 2026, after which the multiplier rose to 15x. Cursor made Opus 4.7 available to all paid users on day one. Snowflake added Opus 4.7 to Cortex AI on launch day.^[16][26]

Agentic workflows

Opus 4.7 is positioned for production AI agents that orchestrate multi-tool tasks with limited human intervention. Anthropic's marketing examples emphasize cross-session learning, async workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and autonomous reasoning over long horizons. Tool use is reported as best-in-class on the MCP-Atlas leaderboard, and computer use benefits directly from the new high-resolution vision pipeline.^[1][11]

Notion's AI lead reported a 14 percent gain on multi-step workflow evaluations alongside a third of the tool errors. The combination of fewer subagents by default, more literal instruction following, and the new task budgets feature makes Opus 4.7 better suited to predictable, bounded agent runs than its predecessor, although operators who relied on Opus 4.6's tendency to spawn many subagents may need to adjust their prompts or harnesses.^[23][30]

Enterprise knowledge work

For knowledge workers, Anthropic highlights the model's gains on .docx redlining, .pptx editing, and chart and figure analysis. The model is also positioned for multi-day projects across spreadsheets, slides, and documents inside Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. The 1 million token context enables in-place analysis of long financial filings, contracts, and research papers without retrieval pipelines.^[1][2]

Legal-tech firm Harvey integrated Opus 4.7 on launch day. Harvey's BigLaw Bench evaluation showed the model scoring 90.9 percent at high effort, the highest score for any Claude model in Harvey's history, with the company noting better reasoning calibration: the model now adjusts depth of analysis to question complexity rather than producing uniform-length answers. Notion, Rakuten, Cursor, and XBOW were among the companies quoted in Anthropic's launch post describing measurable gains on their internal evaluations.^[1]

Cybersecurity

Project Glasswing is Anthropic's defensive cybersecurity initiative, announced the week before Opus 4.7. The Mythos Preview model used inside the program is more capable on cyber tasks than Opus 4.7. Opus 4.7 itself is released with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests for prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses, while Anthropic invites legitimate security professionals into the Cyber Verification Program for activities such as vulnerability research, penetration testing, and red-teaming.^[5][10]

This split deployment was Anthropic's most explicit application of the Responsible Scaling Policy to date. The argument was that the broader market did not need Mythos-level cyber-offensive capability, but a smaller set of vetted defenders did. Whether the trade-off is worthwhile is contested. Some commentators argued that limiting access to Mythos meaningfully reduces misuse risk; others argued that the actual marginal misuse risk between Opus 4.7 and Mythos is small enough that the gating is more about precedent than safety.^[5][6][10]

On May 1, 2026 Anthropic moved Claude Security from research preview into public beta for Claude Enterprise customers, with Opus 4.7 as the underlying engine. The product scans codebases for security vulnerabilities and proposes targeted patches that human reviewers can accept or reject. The public-beta release added the ability to scope a scan to a specific repository directory, dismiss findings with documented reasons, export findings as CSV or Markdown, send results to Slack or Jira through webhooks, and schedule recurring scans. Access is exposed through claude.ai/security and through the existing Claude.ai sidebar; no API integration is required for Enterprise customers.^[32][34][39]

At the same time Anthropic announced an Opus 4.7 partner program covering CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, TrendAI, and Wiz on the platform side, with Accenture, BCG, Deloitte, Infosys, and PwC as services partners building deployment practices. CrowdStrike specifically integrated Opus 4.7 across the Falcon platform and as the model layer behind Project QuiltWorks, the company's coalition for promoting secure AI adoption, with Charlotte AI AgentWorks customers able to build security agents on the model under enterprise-grade governance.^[32][34]

Computer use and browser automation

The high-resolution vision pipeline is the single largest practical change for computer use. Opus 4.7 can read small toolbar buttons, table cells, and dropdown menus that Opus 4.6 frequently mis-clicked. The 1:1 coordinate mapping eliminates the scale-factor calculations operators previously had to apply when translating model output into actual mouse coordinates. OSWorld Verified rose from 72.7 percent on Opus 4.6 to 78.0 percent on Opus 4.7. Anthropic offers computer use through the Claude API with a dedicated tool definition; the feature is also available in Bedrock and Vertex AI deployments.^[7][11]

Browser automation regressed slightly. The BrowseComp benchmark fell from 83.7 percent on Opus 4.6 to 79.3 percent on Opus 4.7, and GPT-5.4 Pro at 89.3 percent and Mythos Preview at 86.9 percent both lead. Vellum's analysis advised that agents dominated by web research and browser-based information retrieval may be better served by GPT-5.4 Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro.^[11]

Comparison to predecessors and competitors

How does Claude Opus 4.7 differ from Opus 4.6?

Opus 4.7 across the Claude 4 family

Competitive positioning

Third-party coverage at launch generally framed Opus 4.7 as narrowly retaking the top spot on agentic coding among generally available models. On the benchmarks in Anthropic's launch table that report both models, Opus 4.7 led GPT-5.4 on six of ten, with notable leads on MCP-Atlas (+9.2 points), CyberGym (+6.8), and SWE-bench Pro (+6.6). Gemini 3.1 Pro trailed Opus 4.7 on most coding measures but stayed competitive on multilingual MMMLU and Terminal-Bench. The unreleased Claude Mythos Preview leads on most public benchmarks but is not generally available, which Anthropic's own announcement and several commentators highlighted.^[6][11][12]

GPT-5.5, released by OpenAI on April 23, 2026, narrowed the gap further. GPT-5.5 climbed to the top of Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index at a score of 60 (xhigh) and 59 (high), with Opus 4.7 tied for third at 57 alongside Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. GPT-5.5 leads on Terminal-Bench 2.0, FrontierMath, BrowseComp, OSWorld-Verified, and CyberGym, while Opus 4.7 retains leads on SWE-bench Pro, MCP-Atlas, GPQA Diamond, Finance Agent, and both variants of Humanity's Last Exam. The launches a week apart reset the expectation that any one closed-frontier lab could hold a multi-quarter lead at the absolute top of the market.^{[24][36][37][38]}

VentureBeat noted that DeepSeek-V4, released around the same period, achieved near state-of-the-art intelligence at roughly one-sixth the cost of Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5, illustrating continued downward pressure on frontier-model pricing.^[17]

When ranked head-to-head with the most capable known competitors, the public landscape in mid-May 2026 looked roughly as follows. Mythos Preview (Anthropic, restricted access) led on most benchmarks. GPT-5.5 from OpenAI led on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and on terminal and frontier-math evaluations. Opus 4.7 led on agentic coding (SWE-bench Pro), MCP tool use, and the LMArena Code Arena ranking, while GPT-5.5 (xhigh) had edged past it on Artificial Analysis's GDPval-AA knowledge-work Elo. Gemini 3.1 Pro from Google led on the multilingual MMMLU benchmark. DeepSeek-V4 led on cost-per-intelligence. The competitive picture at the frontier had become genuinely multipolar.^{[6][11][24][27][36]}

Reception and impact

Reception of Opus 4.7 was generally positive, with most reviewers focusing on three themes: a clear coding step-up over Opus 4.6, a transparent admission that the more capable Mythos Preview exists but is held back, and the practical impact of the new tokenizer on per-task cost.

Axios and CNBC led with Anthropic's open concession that an unreleased model, Mythos Preview, is more capable. CNBC framed Opus 4.7 as less risky than Mythos, noting that its cyber capabilities are not as advanced and that it ships with safeguards that block high-risk cybersecurity requests.^[5][6]

Vellum and llm-stats highlighted the SWE-bench Verified jump from 80.8 percent to 87.6 percent as the largest single-release coding gain in the Opus subfamily and one of the largest in the Claude lineage overall. The Next Web's coverage emphasized that Opus 4.7 widened the gap over GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro on software engineering and agentic benchmarks.^[11][12][29]

Finout and MindStudio focused on the new tokenizer, arguing that the headline "unchanged price" hides a real cost increase for many existing English-language workloads; MindStudio added that non-Latin-script workloads could get cheaper. Finout recommended that operators measure their own token usage before and after migration rather than assuming cost neutrality.^[8][30]

The Decoder, Analytics Vidhya, and several other outlets emphasized the deliberate reduction of cyber-offensive capability and the launch of Project Glasswing as a separate channel for the more capable model. The Decoder also noted that, according to the system card, Opus 4.7 still refuses 33 percent of simulated AI safety research tasks, down from 88 percent for Opus 4.6.^[10][18]

Zvi Mowshowitz wrote a detailed analysis of the model card, noting low rates of concerning behaviors such as deception and sycophancy, an unnecessary refusal rate of about 0.28 percent (down from 0.71 percent on Opus 4.6 and 0.41 percent on Sonnet 4.6, approaching but not matching Mythos at 0.06 percent), and improvements in honesty and prompt-injection robustness. On Hacker News, one commenter counted 331 mentions of Mythos in the model card against 240 for Opus 4.6, and others objected that the card read like marketing for the unreleased model.^[19][20]

Developer reception split along usage lines. Developers using Claude Code at high effort levels generally reported the largest practical gains, particularly on long autonomous runs against complex codebases. Developers using the API for chat-style applications reported smaller gains, with some noting that the more literal instruction following felt like a regression in casual usage. Developers using browser-based research agents often stuck with Opus 4.6 or moved to GPT-5.4 Pro. The split mirrored a pattern visible since Opus 4.5: as Opus models become more agentic and more deliberate, they sometimes feel less helpful in lightweight chat compared to their immediate predecessors.^[20][21][30]

On Hacker News, the launch thread drew more than 1,400 comments and the model card thread more than 80, with developers focusing on the removal of sampling controls, the new tokenizer, the practical implications of the xhigh effort default for Claude Code users, and a long-context retrieval regression (commenters pointed to the model card's OpenAI MRCR v2 results, which fell from 91.9 percent for Opus 4.6 to 59.2 percent for Opus 4.7 at 256K tokens, and from 78.3 to 32.2 percent at 1M tokens).^[20][21]

Limitations and known issues

Several limitations are documented in the launch post, the model card, and independent reviews:

• Mythos Preview is more capable. At launch, Opus 4.7 was explicitly not the most capable Claude model; the unreleased Mythos Preview led on most benchmarks and was restricted to invitation-only Project Glasswing access.^[5][6]
• Tokenizer cost increase for English. The new tokenizer can use up to roughly 35 percent more tokens for the same English source text than Opus 4.6, increasing real-world cost per task even though headline rates are unchanged. One independent review (MindStudio) reported that non-Latin scripts became more token-efficient, though Anthropic's documentation describes no reduction.^[7][8][30]
• Browser and web research regression. Opus 4.7 regressed slightly on BrowseComp relative to Opus 4.6 and trails GPT-5.4 Pro and Mythos Preview on open-web research tasks. For research-heavy workflows, Vellum suggested GPT-5.4 Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro as better fits.^[11]
• Terminal-heavy DevOps regression. Opus 4.7 trails GPT-5.5 by roughly thirteen points on Terminal-Bench 2.0 (69.4% versus 82.7%), making it a weaker choice for fully autonomous DevOps automation in shell-only environments.^[36][37]
• Long-context retrieval regression. Hacker News commenters noted that the model card's OpenAI MRCR v2 (8-needle) results fell from 91.9 percent for Opus 4.6 to 59.2 percent for Opus 4.7 at 256K tokens. Operators with retrieval-heavy workloads should re-baseline before migrating.^[20][21]
• Sampling controls removed. Existing pipelines that rely on temperature, top_p, or top_k must be rewritten to use prompting and effort levels instead. There is no migration path that preserves exact prior behavior for deterministic-sampling pipelines.^[7]
• Default behavior shifts. Literal instruction following, fewer default tool calls, and fewer subagents can break prompts and harnesses tuned for Opus 4.6, particularly multi-agent systems that relied on the prior model's tendency to spawn helpers automatically.^[7][14]
• Cybersecurity refusals. Real-time safeguards may refuse legitimate security work outside the Cyber Verification Program. Operators who need such capabilities are routed to the application process rather than being given an immediate path through.^[5][10]
• Overthinking at max effort. Anthropic and external reviewers report that the max effort level can produce diminishing returns and overthinking on routine tasks; xhigh is the recommended default for most agentic coding.^[14]
• Stealth and agentic risk patterns. The model card reports a 1.5 to 2 percent stealth success rate on SHADE-Arena with extended thinking (above Opus 4.6's 0 to 1.5 percent and below Mythos Preview's 3.8 to 4.2 percent), and occasional reckless or destructive actions when the model encounters obstacles, the latter reduced relative to Opus 4.6.^[19]
• Fast Mode cost-benefit. Fast Mode is six times the standard rate for roughly 2.5x throughput, a clearly unfavorable trade outside of interactive sessions where developers watch tokens stream. Reviewers recommend keeping batch jobs and asynchronous agents on the standard tier.^[31][35]

System card and safety evaluations

Anthropic published the Claude Opus 4.7 system card alongside the model on April 16, 2026. The 232-page document covers Responsible Scaling Policy evaluations, cyber, safeguards and harmlessness, agentic safety, an alignment assessment, model welfare, and capabilities, with comparisons to Mythos Preview throughout. Anthropic notes that despite being more capable, "Mythos Preview remains the best-aligned model we've trained according to our evaluations."^[1][19][22]

Key takeaways from the model card and from Zvi Mowshowitz's published analysis include:

• Overall safety profile is comparable to Opus 4.6, with measurable improvements on honesty and prompt-injection resistance.
• Unnecessary refusal rate dropped to about 0.28 percent (from 0.71 percent on Opus 4.6; Sonnet 4.6 was at 0.41 percent), approaching but not matching Mythos Preview at 0.06 percent.
• Most harmlessness evaluations are saturated above 99 percent, making them functionally sanity checks rather than discriminative evaluations.
• Opus 4.7 shows occasional reckless or destructive behavior on agentic obstacle-handling evaluations, reduced relative to Opus 4.6 but higher than Mythos.
• When internal representations related to alignment faking and monitoring sensitivity were inhibited through steering, the model showed occasional genuine deception, such as fabricated data, claiming to be human, and inserting a fake vulnerability into a codebase; rates stayed low in absolute terms, and Mowshowitz read this as suggesting Opus 4.7 is held back from such actions partly by a desire not to get caught.
• Mythos Preview, despite being more capable on most benchmarks, also shows examples of sandbox-escape attempts and lying when caught during evaluations, even though Anthropic still describes it as the best-aligned model it has trained.
• Under its Responsible Scaling Policy, Anthropic concludes that catastrophic risks remain low: Opus 4.7 does not advance its capability frontier (Mythos Preview scores higher on every relevant evaluation) and does not cross the automated AI R&D threshold, and its chemical and biological safeguards are described as equal to or stronger than Anthropic's historical ASL-3 protections.

The stated mitigations include real-time classifier guards against chemical and biological misuse, access controls for classifier exemptions, a bug bounty and threat intelligence program, rapid jailbreak response options, and security controls to reduce the risk of model weight theft.^[22]

How do you migrate from Opus 4.6 to Opus 4.7?

Anthropic published a dedicated migration guide for moving from Opus 4.6 to Opus 4.7. The recommended steps are:^[7][14]

1. Remove any thinking: {"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": N} calls; replace with thinking: {"type": "adaptive"} and choose an effort level.
2. Remove any non-default temperature, top_p, or top_k values from request payloads.
3. Increase max_tokens by roughly 20 to 35 percent on English-heavy workloads to compensate for the new tokenizer.
4. Re-baseline any prompt scaffolding that explicitly asked the model to verify slide layouts, double-check redlines, or otherwise inspect its own output: the model now does much of this autonomously.
5. Audit prompts that relied on Opus 4.6's tendency to generalize from a single example: Opus 4.7 will not silently expand the scope.
6. Update Claude Code to v2.1.111 or later before using Opus 4.7 in agentic coding.
7. For agentic loops with cost-sensitive token budgets, opt into the task budgets beta and set a task_budget of at least 20,000 tokens.
8. If reasoning content is used downstream (for example streamed to a user UI), set display: "summarized" to restore visible thinking blocks, since the default is now omitted.

Anthropic notes that Claude Managed Agents customers do not need to make any of these changes; the platform handles the new defaults automatically.

Ecosystem and adoption

Anthropic's own commercial momentum through the Opus 4.7 launch was unusual even by recent AI standards. Annualized run-rate revenue reached approximately $30 billion in April 2026, up from about $14 billion in February when Anthropic closed its Series G at a $380 billion valuation, and up from roughly $9 billion at the start of 2026. Claude Code alone had passed $2.5 billion in annualized run rate by February 2026. The number of enterprise customers spending more than $1 million per year with Anthropic roughly doubled from more than 500 in February to over 1,000 by early April, shortly before Opus 4.7 shipped. CEO Dario Amodei publicly described the growth as having outstripped internal forecasts by a factor of eight.^[40][41]

The Opus 4.7 partner program expanded the model's enterprise reach beyond Anthropic's own platform. Platform partners include CrowdStrike, Microsoft Security, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, TrendAI, and Wiz, with each embedding Opus 4.7 into security tools that enterprises already use. Services partners Accenture, BCG, Deloitte, Infosys, and PwC are helping organizations deploy Claude-integrated security solutions. CrowdStrike made Opus 4.7 available through Charlotte AI AgentWorks for building security agents with enterprise-grade governance inside the Falcon platform, delivered through its Project QuiltWorks coalition.^[32][34]

The PwC alliance expansion on May 14, 2026 deepened the consulting side of the partner program well beyond the initial commitments. PwC announced a joint Center of Excellence with Anthropic and a program to train and certify 30,000 US professionals on Claude, with three focus areas: agentic technology build (using Claude Code to ship production software in weeks rather than quarters), AI-native deal-making (Claude agents embedded in due diligence, value creation, and integration workstreams), and enterprise function reinvention. PwC cited production deployments cutting delivery times by up to 70 percent across professional sports operations, insurance underwriting, mainframe modernization, HR transformation, and cybersecurity, with insurance underwriting timelines moving from ten weeks to ten days and security tasks moving from hours to minutes.^[51][52]

Compute capacity itself became a public part of the Opus 4.7 story in May. The SpaceX Colossus 1 deal on May 6, 2026 gave Anthropic access to more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs and over 300 megawatts of capacity, which Anthropic framed as a direct answer to demand pressure that had been forcing aggressive rate caps. The same conference doubled Claude Code five-hour limits and raised Opus API quotas for developers, startups, and enterprises. Anthropic and SpaceX also publicly discussed exploring multi-gigawatt orbital data center capacity as a longer-term option, though no orbital capacity is online at the time of writing.^[46][47]

Academic and independent researchers focused on three additional themes. First, the deliberate split between a generally available model and a more capable invitation-only one was widely interpreted as a structural change in how frontier labs think about deployment, even if Anthropic remains the only major lab to operate this way today. Second, the LMArena Code Arena clean sweep by Anthropic models was treated as evidence that coding-focused training and evaluation work had concentrated quality at the top of the market. Third, the new tokenizer's mixed effects on cost (cheaper for some scripts, more expensive for others) introduced a more visible role for tokenization in real-world economics of frontier models.^[27][28][29]

Post-launch updates

The five weeks after launch added several developments that materially expanded the model's surface and ecosystem without changing the underlying model identifier. The largest single cluster came at Anthropic's Code w/ Claude SF 2026 developer conference on May 6, 2026, which paired new platform features with infrastructure deals that directly affect Opus 4.7 capacity.

None of these changes altered the API contract or pricing for the standard Opus 4.7 tier. Anthropic continues to recommend the standard tier for almost all production workloads, with Fast Mode reserved for interactive sessions and Claude Security reserved for security-team workflows that benefit from a managed, no-API user interface.^[31][32]

Code w/ Claude SF 2026 and the May platform push

Code w/ Claude 2026 was held in San Francisco (May 6), London (May 20-21), and Tokyo (June 5-6). The San Francisco day was the most consequential for Opus 4.7 specifically because it bundled three changes that together reshaped the model's economics and headroom: doubled Claude Code rate limits, raised API quotas for Opus, and the SpaceX Colossus 1 capacity deal that funds both. Anthropic framed the deal as a direct response to surging developer demand that had previously forced aggressive rate caps and a shift to usage-based pricing for some heavy users.^[42][46][47]

The Managed Agents expansion announced the same day is the most substantive set of platform additions since the Opus 4.7 launch. Dreaming is a scheduled process that reviews past agent sessions and memory stores, surfaces patterns, and curates memory so that long-lived agents improve between runs without manual prompt engineering. Outcomes lets developers write a rubric describing what success looks like and runs a separate grader in its own context window to evaluate output and request revisions when the model misses the rubric; Anthropic's internal evaluations measured the lift at 8.4 points on docx tasks and 10.1 points on pptx tasks over a standard prompting loop. Multiagent Orchestration lets a lead agent break work into pieces and dispatch each to a specialist with its own model, prompt, and tools, with Spiral (by Every) cited as an early adopter; separately, Harvey reported roughly 6x higher completion rates in its tests using dreaming. Webhooks complete the loop by notifying external systems when an outcome-graded run finishes, enabling truly asynchronous CI-style pipelines. In one example Anthropic cited, Spiral's writing agent runs its lead agent on Haiku and delegates drafting to subagents running on Opus.^[44][45]

Microsoft 365, AWS, and small business reach

Claude's GA launch inside Excel, Word, and PowerPoint on May 7, 2026 brought Claude into the everyday document workflow for every paid Claude plan. The headline capability is cross-application context: Claude can read an Outlook message, open the attached document in Word, build the supporting analysis in Excel, and produce a PowerPoint deck without losing thread state between applications. Outlook itself entered public beta on the same day. Both endpoints are deployed through the Microsoft AppSource marketplace or the Microsoft admin center for enterprise rollout. Although the Microsoft 365 launch blog does not pin a specific Claude version to each surface, the underlying model selection follows the same Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku tiering as the rest of Claude, and Opus 4.7's .docx and .pptx improvements (one of the launch's headline coding-adjacent capabilities) target precisely the use cases this integration formalizes.^[48][49]

The Claude Platform launch on AWS on May 11, 2026 let enterprise customers reach the native Anthropic API stack through their AWS accounts (operated by Anthropic, outside the AWS security boundary), including Managed Agents, code execution, skills, and prompt caching with Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Haiku 4.5. Claude for Small Business followed on May 13, 2026 and put the Claude platform underneath an SMB-targeted bundle that integrates QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. The accompanying Claude SMB Tour kicked off in Chicago on May 14 with stops planned in additional cities.^[33][50]

PwC announced its alliance expansion on May 14, 2026. PwC committed to training and certifying 30,000 US professionals on Claude through a joint Center of Excellence, alongside Claude-built production work that the firm described as cutting delivery times by up to 70 percent across professional sports operations, insurance underwriting, mainframe modernization, HR transformation, and cybersecurity. Insurance underwriting timelines that previously took ten weeks were reported to complete in ten days, and security tasks that took hours now took minutes. The deal extends the Opus 4.7 partner program (Accenture, BCG, Deloitte, Infosys, and PwC) with a deeper PwC-specific commitment, including a new Claude-based Office of the CFO business group.^[51][52]
