As the LLM wars heat up, some of the biggest players in the AI market are quickly releasing new, more powerful models than the last. It's going at such a breakneck speed that it's easy to get lost, but with big companies pouring huge amounts of investment into working as fast as they can, the competition has to move as quickly as possible, or else they'll be left behind.

Anthropic knows this as well as anyone, which is why it has released Opus 4.7. It claims to be much more useful than Opus 4.6, which is amazing, given that the prior version came out just over two months ago. And if you'd like to try it for yourself, we're getting reports that people can access it right now.

Anthropic releases Opus 4.7 to the public

You should be able to try it right now

As announced on the Anthropic website, the company has pulled back the curtain on Opus 4.7. The company states that you can give this new model a try right now; sure enough, several members of the XDA team report that they can select the model on the Claude website, which sports the description "Most capable for ambitious work."

If you want an idea of how fast the world of AI is moving, just check out the table above, which pits Opus 4.7 against the most recent version released on February 5th. That's just over two months of work, and we're already seeing huge jumps in the model's performance.

Anthropic wastes no time announcing all the things its new model can do:

Opus 4.7 is a notable improvement on Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with particular gains on the most difficult tasks. Users report being able to hand off their hardest coding work—the kind that previously needed close supervision—to Opus 4.7 with confidence. Opus 4.7 handles complex, long-running tasks with rigor and consistency, pays precise attention to instructions, and devises ways to verify its own outputs before reporting back.

Anthropic also claims that Opus 4.7 is better at vision, higher-resolution rendering, and "producing higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs." And while Anthropic openly admits that Opus 4.7 isn't quite as mighty as its legendary Mythos model (which you can also see in the table above), this is still the strongest AI model you can use without being a part of a special group of companies working with the Glasswing initiative, which I imagine is hard to gain entry to if you want to use it to vibe code a video game.
