Claude Opus 4.7 Brings Sharper Coding and Vision

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 across all platforms, keeping pricing flat at $5/$25 per million tokens while pushing meaningful gains in software engineering, vision, and instruction following. Coding benchmarks show double-digit jumps over Opus 4.6, and image support now handles 3.75 megapixels - over three times the previous limit. A new "xhigh" effort setting splits the difference between standard and max reasoning depth. One underreported detail: Anthropic deliberately reduced cyber capabilities relative to Claude Mythos Preview and added automated blocking of high-risk security requests, routing legitimate researchers through a new Cyber Verification Program. The release cadence between Anthropic and OpenAI has compressed noticeably, with both shipping flagship updates within days of each other.
