Article Summary

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.7, their latest AI model featuring significant improvements in software engineering, particularly for complex coding tasks. The model offers better instruction following, improved multimodal support with 3x higher resolution images, and enhanced memory capabilities. Opus 4.7 includes new cybersecurity safeguards and introduces a 'Cyber Verification Program' for security professionals. The release also includes new features like 'xhigh' effort level, task budgets, and an /ultrareview command for code review. However, the new tokenizer may increase token usage by up to 35%.

Comment Summary

The discussion is dominated by frustration over perceived model quality degradation, confusing token usage limits, and lack of transparency from Anthropic. Many users report switching to OpenAI's Codex due to Claude's recent performance issues and restrictive usage limits. There's significant debate about whether Anthropic intentionally nerfs models before new releases, with concerns about the new cybersecurity filters blocking legitimate work. Technical discussions cover adaptive thinking changes, tokenizer impacts, and the challenges of comparing model performance across releases.
