Claude Opus 4.7 — Anthropic
Anthropic's precision agent for complex tasks. A step-change in agentic coding over Opus 4.6, 1M context, adaptive thinking, and the first Claude with high-resolution vision (up to 3.75MP). The model that reads your entire codebase and actually remembers page 847.

Overview
Claude is Anthropic's flagship AI assistant, designed with a focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest. It's not the flashiest name in AI, but it's the model that developers and enterprises keep coming back to when the work actually matters.
Claude Opus 4.7 is a step-change improvement on 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with the biggest gains on the hardest tasks. It pays precise attention to instructions and devises ways to verify its own outputs before reporting back — meaning you can hand it long, complex coding work and trust it to come back with something you can actually ship.
4.7 is also the first Claude model with high-resolution image support — max image resolution increased to 2576px / 3.75MP. Pair that with Agent Teams (orchestrating parallel Claude Code instances) and adaptive thinking, and you've got a model that handles marathon, multi-modal workloads better than anything else generally available.
Pricing held the line: same $5 / $25 per million tokens as Opus 4.6. Anthropic also concedes 4.7 is less broadly capable than Claude Mythos Preview — their most powerful model — but they're keeping Mythos's release deliberately limited. So 4.7 is the ceiling for production work, with Mythos as the experimental tier above it.
Access the free tier at claude.ai (runs on Sonnet 4.5) or upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) for Opus 4.7 access. Available across all Claude products and the API, plus Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry.

Key Capabilities
Step-Change Agentic Coding
Substantial gains over Opus 4.6 on the hardest software-engineering tasks — verifies its own outputs before reporting back
High-Resolution Vision
First Claude with high-res image support — max 2576px / 3.75MP. Big jump for design reviews, dense diagrams, and document analysis
Adaptive Thinking
Automatically adjusts reasoning depth — fast for simple tasks, deep for complex ones
Agent Teams (Swarms)
Orchestrate multiple Claude Code instances working in parallel on a project
Computer Use
Most accurate model for operating computers — navigates interfaces, fills forms, moves data across applications
1M Token Context (Beta)
Process entire codebases, legal documents, or research papers in a single conversation
128K Max Output (300K Beta)
128K standard, or up to 300K tokens via beta header (output-300k-2026-03-24)
Compaction
Automatic server-side context summarization when conversations approach the limit
Industry-Leading Coding
65.4% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 — state-of-the-art across coding benchmarks
14.5-Hour Task Horizon
Longest sustained task completion time of any AI model — built for marathon workloads
Long-Context Coherence
76% accuracy on MRCR v2 8-needle 1M variant

Limitations
Higher latency at high/max effort levels, especially on complex reasoning tasks
1M context window is beta-only with a 4% timeout error rate; standard is 200K
Spatial reasoning remains a common weakness
Agent Teams can occasionally duplicate work and burn through tokens quickly
Free tier does NOT include Opus 4.7 — runs on Sonnet 4.5
Anthropic concedes 4.7 trails Claude Mythos Preview, but Mythos's release stays deliberately limited
Can "overthink" simple tasks at default effort, adding unnecessary cost and latency
No native image generation — text and code output only
