Claude Opus 4.7
The new model solves four coding tasks previous versions couldn't and handles complex workflows with new cyber safeguards.
Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.7, positioning it as a significant leap forward for complex software engineering. The model delivers a 13% performance lift on Anthropic's internal 93-task coding benchmark, including solving four tasks that stumped both Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. Early testers report it can handle the "hardest coding work" with minimal supervision, thanks to its rigorous approach to long-running tasks, precise instruction following, and a novel ability to devise ways to verify its own outputs before reporting back. It also features substantially better vision capabilities with higher image resolution.
Beyond raw performance, Opus 4.7 introduces critical safety measures as a stepping stone to more powerful models like Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic has differentially reduced its advanced cyber capabilities and implemented automated safeguards to detect and block prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity requests. Security professionals can apply for a Cyber Verification Program for legitimate use. Available across all Claude products, the API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry, it maintains Opus 4.6's pricing at $5 per million input and $25 per million output tokens.
- Delivers a 13% performance gain on coding benchmarks and solves tasks previous models couldn't, enabling developers to hand off complex work with confidence.
- Features new self-verification logic, stricter instruction adherence, and better vision with higher-resolution image understanding for professional design tasks.
- Serves as a testbed for AI safety with reduced cyber capabilities and automated safeguards, informing the future release of more powerful Mythos-class models.
