Investing.com -- Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday, marking an upgrade to its previous Opus 4.6 model with improvements in software engineering and vision capabilities.

The new model demonstrates gains in handling complex coding tasks that previously required close supervision, according to Anthropic. Opus 4.7 processes images at resolutions up to 2,576 pixels on the long edge, more than three times the capacity of prior Claude models.

While Opus 4.7 represents an advancement, it remains less capable than Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic's most powerful model. Mythos Preview continues to have limited release due to safety concerns outlined in Project Glasswing, announced last week.

Anthropic implemented cyber safeguards in Opus 4.7 that automatically detect and block requests indicating prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses. The company reduced the model's cyber capabilities during training compared to Mythos Preview. Security professionals can access the model for legitimate cybersecurity work through Anthropic's new Cyber Verification Program.

The model is available across Claude products, the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry. Pricing remains unchanged from Opus 4.6 at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.

Opus 4.7 scored higher than its predecessor on benchmarks including finance agent evaluations and GDPval-AA, which measures economically valuable knowledge work across finance and legal domains. The model shows improved instruction following, though Anthropic noted this may require users to adjust prompts written for earlier models.

Anthropic introduced a new "xhigh" effort level between high and max settings, providing additional control over the balance between reasoning capability and response speed. The company also launched task budgets in public beta for API users and added an ultrareview command in Claude Code for bug detection.

The updated model uses a new tokenizer that can result in 1.0 to 1.35 times more tokens for the same input depending on content type.
