Claude Opus 4.7
Frequently asked
How much better is Opus 4.7 at coding than Opus 4.6?
On Anthropic's own numbers: SWE-bench Verified 87.6% vs 80.8% (+6.8 points), SWE-bench Pro 64.3% vs 53.4% (+10.9 points), Terminal-Bench 2.0 69.4% vs 65.4%. Partner Rakuten reports 3x more production tasks resolved on their internal SWE-Bench; CodeRabbit reports +10% recall on hard-to-detect bugs.
Do I need to change my API code to use Opus 4.7?
Two breaking changes. (1) Manual extended thinking via `thinking: {type:'enabled', budget_tokens:N}` is removed β switch to `reasoning.effort` (low/medium/high/xhigh/max). (2) The tokenizer changed; the same prompt may consume 1.00x to 1.35x more tokens. Re-baseline cost and quota dashboards before flipping production traffic.
When should I use xhigh vs max effort?
Anthropic's guidance: xhigh for advanced coding and complex agent loops (default in Claude Code), high for most intelligence-sensitive workloads, max only when evals show measurable headroom past xhigh. max often overthinks β most 'Opus 4.7 feels slow' reports trace back to running max by reflex.
What image resolutions does Opus 4.7 accept?
Up to 2,576 px on the long edge, about 3.75 megapixels β more than 3x prior Claude models. This is a model-level change applied automatically; no API flag required. XBOW reports a 98.5% visual-acuity benchmark (vs 54.5% on Opus 4.6).
Where can I run Opus 4.7?
Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, GitHub Copilot (Pro+, Business, Enterprise) β and through TheRouter on the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions surface as model id 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.7'.
