Claude Opus 4.7 announced with improved instruction-following and self-verification

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.7, roughly two months after Opus 4.6. The headline improvements are in agentic coding, long-running task handling, and multimodal understanding.

What’s actually different

The model carries context across sessions and handles ambiguity better than 4.6. In practice, that means you can hand it a multi-file refactor or a debugging task that spans an entire service without it drifting halfway through. It also verifies its own outputs before reporting back, which cuts down on the “looks done but isn’t” problem.

On benchmarks: 64.3% on SWE-bench Pro, 87.6% on SWE-bench Verified, and 70% on CursorBench (up from 58% on 4.6). Early testers report 10–14% gains on coding tasks and roughly 3x more production task resolution on SWE-bench variants.

Image support got a meaningful upgrade too — the model now handles images up to 2,576px on the long edge (~3.75MP), which makes a real difference on dense charts, UI screenshots, and scanned documents.

A new xhigh effort level sits between high and max. Worth knowing: Anthropic has raised Claude Code’s default effort from medium to xhigh, so token usage will likely go up unless you adjust it manually.

The context window is 1M tokens. Pricing stays at $5/M input and $25/M output, with up to 90% savings via prompt caching.

One migration note: there’s a new tokenizer that may increase token counts by 1.0–1.35x compared to 4.6.

New features in Claude Code

Max users get auto mode, which removes permission prompts so you can hand off a task and come back to finished work. There’s also a new /ultrareview command.
