Claude Opus 4.7 Is Now Generally Available With 3.3x Better Vision and Coding Gains

The 3.3x vision improvement has a direct practical payoff: Opus 4.7 can read dense charts, technical diagrams, and full-resolution screenshots without the lossy downscaling that tripped up earlier models on fine detail. On the coding side, Anthropic says the gains over Opus 4.6 are most pronounced on difficult, multi-step tasks -- meaning you can hand off your hardest coding work with more confidence than before. The 1M context window at standard pricing removes the penalty teams used to pay for processing long contracts, codebases, or research documents, which makes the Sonnet-to-Opus upgrade easier to justify on cost grounds alone. Pricing holds at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens -- if your work involves vision-heavy or long-context tasks, the case for staying on Sonnet just got weaker.
