The most capable generally available Claude today, best for complex analysis, dense documents, images, screenshots, and long-running structured work.

Released April 16, 2026, Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available Claude model. It is best suited to complex reasoning, long-running tasks, structured work across documents and spreadsheets, and image-heavy work involving screenshots, diagrams, and detailed documents. The real upgrade over Opus 4.6 is vision quality: higher-resolution image handling makes it much better at small text, dense diagrams, and visual detail that previously came through too blurry to rely on. It also does more verification before reporting back, which reduces confident-but-wrong answers on complex tasks. Its strengths are deep analysis, legal and financial documents, research, and sustained multi-step reasoning. The caveats are meaningful: GPT-5.4 still leads for web-search-heavy tasks, Claude Sonnet remains the better writing pick for many creative workflows, and the new tokenizer can process more tokens for the same input, making effective cost higher than the unchanged rate card suggests. Bottom line: Opus 4.7 is worth it when your work involves complex analysis, dense documents, or images. It is overkill, and quietly more expensive than it looks, for everyday chat and routine writing.

Best if you want fast, capable responses across text, images, and video at a price that works for everyday and high-volume use.
