Anthropic: Claude Opus 4.7

1M tokens

Opus 4.7 is the next generation of Anthropic's Opus family, built for long-running, asynchronous agents. Building on the coding and agentic strengths of Opus 4.6, it delivers stronger performance on complex, multi-step tasks and more reliable agentic execution across extended workflows. It is especially effective for asynchronous agent pipelines where tasks unfold over time - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and end-to-end project orchestration. Beyond coding, Opus 4.7 brings improved knowledge work capabilities - from drafting documents and building presentations to analyzing data. It maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions, making it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through. For users upgrading from earlier Opus versions, see our [official migration guide here](https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/evaluate-and-optimize/model-migrations/claude-4-7)
