Release Overview

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7, describing it as its strongest generally available model. The announcement highlights improvements over Opus 4.6 in software engineering, instruction‑following, tool use, and agentic coding.

Improvements Over Opus 4.6

• Outperforms Opus 4.6 across many use cases, including industry benchmarks for:

  • Agentic coding
  • Multidisciplinary reasoning
  • Scaled tool use
  • Agentic computer use

• The model was trained with efforts to “differentially reduce” its cyber capabilities.

Cybersecurity Considerations

Anthropic notes that Claude Opus 4.7 is less broadly capable than the restricted Claude Mythos Preview, which was rolled out to a select group of companies as part of the Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative.

Security professionals interested in using the model for legitimate cybersecurity purposes can apply through a formal verification program.

Availability and Pricing

Claude Opus 4.7 is available across all Anthropic Claude products, via the API, and through cloud providers Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. The pricing remains the same as for Claude Opus 4.6.
