Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic’s most capable generally available model, released on April 16, 2026. It delivers a step-change improvement in agentic coding over Claude Opus 4.6 — making it the strongest Claude option for autonomous, long-horizon software engineering tasks, complex reasoning, and orchestrating multi-step agent workflows.
Like all Opus models, it sits at the top of the Claude lineup in terms of capability and cost. The right choice when correctness, depth of reasoning, and ability to handle very long agentic loops matters more than throughput or price.
