We've launched Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable widely released model for complex reasoning and agentic coding, at the same $5 / $25 per MTok pricing as Opus 4.6. See What's new in Claude Opus 4.7 for capability improvements, new features, and the updated tokenizer. Opus 4.7 includes API breaking changes versus Opus 4.6; see the migration guide before upgrading.
Claude in Amazon Bedrock is now open to all Amazon Bedrock customers. Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Haiku 4.5 are available self-serve from the Bedrock console through the Messages API endpoint at /anthropic/v1/messages, in 27 AWS regions with global and regional endpoints.
We've launched task budgets in beta on Claude Opus 4.7. Give Claude an advisory token budget for a full agentic loop (thinking, tool calls, tool results, and output) and the model sees a running countdown, using it to prioritize work and finish gracefully as the budget is consumed. Include the task-budgets-2026-03-13 beta header in your requests.
Claude Opus 4.7 supports high-resolution image input, raising the maximum image resolution from 1568 to 2576 pixels on the long edge for improved performance on computer use, screenshot understanding, and document analysis. High-resolution support is automatic and requires no beta header; images may use up to approximately 3x more image tokens than on prior models.
We've added the xhigh effort level on Claude Opus 4.7. xhigh sits between high and max and is tuned for long-running agentic and coding tasks (over 30 minutes) with token budgets in the millions. No beta header is required.
