Introducing Claude Opus 4.7
- Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 — a direct upgrade to Opus 4.6 at the same price, with stronger coding, better multi-step agentic workflows, and significantly improved vision
- SWE-bench Verified jumps from 80.8% → 87.6%; Cursor's internal coding benchmark goes from 58% → 70%; tool error rate in complex workflows drops by two-thirds
- Vision gets a 3x resolution upgrade — images up to 3.75MP (up from 1.15MP) — so screenshots, diagrams, and dense documents are processed at much higher fidelity automatically, no API changes needed
- Opus 4.7 is the most literally instruction-following Claude model yet — worth auditing prompts written for earlier models before migrating
- Available today via Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry
