Opus 4.7
Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's top-tier model from April 2026 — successor to Opus 4.6 with high-resolution image processing, a new xhigh effort level and task budgets for long agentic runs.
Opus 4.7 — explained in more detail
Claude Opus 4.7 launched on April 16, 2026 and replaced Opus 4.6 as the top-tier model in the Claude 4 family. Anthropic positions it as the most autonomous Claude model to date, built for long-horizon agentic work, hard coding problems and deep research — with the ability to verify its own outputs before reporting back. Available across all Claude products and via the API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI and Microsoft Foundry.
What is new compared to Opus 4.6
- High-resolution vision: maximum image resolution rises from 1568px to 2576px (around 3× the prior visual capacity) — the first Claude model with high-resolution image support.
- New “xhigh” effort level: sits between
highandmaxand gives finer control over the trade-off between reasoning depth and latency. - Task budgets (public beta): developers can steer token spend more precisely across long runs.
- New tokenizer: consumes roughly 1.0–1.35× as many tokens as previous models when processing text — factor this into cost estimates.
- Cyber safeguards: automatic blocking of high-risk cybersecurity requests, plus a new Cyber Verification Program for legitimate security users.
Where it fits
Opus 4.7 retains the 1M-token context window, up to 128k output tokens and adaptive thinking. Pricing is unchanged from Opus 4.6 — $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. For everyday interactive work Sonnet 4.6 remains the default; Opus 4.7 is the pick when quality and reliability matter more than speed.
