Claude Opus 4.7 Just Dropped – Better Long Tasks, Self-Verification, 3x Better Vision .

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.7, a significant upgrade to its most capable AI model, now available across its platform and major cloud providers. The release focuses on three core areas: enhanced autonomy for complex tasks, a major leap in visual understanding, and refined controls for developers. The most notable advancement is in handling long-running workflows; Claude 4.7 now demonstrates stronger autonomy by following instructions more precisely and, critically, verifying its own outputs before delivering a final result. This 'self-verification' feature is designed to reduce the need for user intervention, making AI agents more reliable for extended projects.

For visual tasks, the model processes images at more than three times the resolution of its predecessor, leading to substantially better performance when analyzing interfaces, slides, documents, and charts. On the API side, Anthropic introduced a new 'xhigh' effort level between 'high' and 'max' for finer control over reasoning depth versus latency, and beta 'task budgets' to help manage costs during long sessions. For coders, the Claude Code environment gets a powerful '/ultrareview' command that conducts dedicated, thorough code reviews, and 'Auto' mode is now extended to Max plan users, allowing longer tasks to run with fewer interruptions.
