Anthropic's flagship reasoning model. Best-in-class for coding, long-context analysis, and agentic workflows. 1M token context window. Available via API and in Claude Code.
Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's top-tier model and the engine behind Claude Code on the Max plan. It pushes the state of the art in agentic coding benchmarks and handles a 1M token context window for whole-codebase reasoning. Pricing is premium ($15 per million input tokens, $75 per million output) so most teams reach for it on hard problems and use Sonnet for the rest. If you live in Claude Code or run long autonomous sessions, Opus 4.7 is the model that makes the difference.
