Not showing up in claude code by default on the latest version. Apparently this is how to set it: /model claude-opus-4-7 Coming from anthropic's support page, so hopefully they did't hallucinate the docs, cause the model name on claude code says: /model claude-opus-4-7 ⎿ Set model to Opus 4 what model are you? I'm Claude Opus 4 (model ID: claude-opus-4-7).

On the most current version (v2.1.110) of claude:

> /model claude-opus-4.7

  ⎿  Model 'claude-opus-4.7' not found

Have they effectively communicated what a 20x or 10x Claude subscription actually means? And with Claude 4.7 increasing usage by 1.35x does that mean a 20x plan is now really a 13x plan (no token increase on the subscription) or a 27x plan (more tokens given to compensate for more computer cost) relative to Claude Opus 4.6?

Anthropic isn't going to give us that information. It's not actually static, it depends on subscription demand and idle compute available.

Too late, personally after how bad 4.6 was the past week I was pushed to codex, which seems to mostly work at the same level from day to day. Just last night I was trying to get 4.6 to lookup how to do some simple tensor parallel work, and the agent used 0 web fetches and just hallucinated 17K very wrong tokens. Then the main agent decided to pretend to implement tp, and just copied the entire model to each node...

Until the next time they push you back to Claude. At this point, I feel like this has to be the most unstable technology ever released. Imagine if docker had stopped working every two releases

There is zero cost to switching ai models. Paid or open source. It's one line mostly.

For anyone who was wondering about Mythos release plans: > What we learn from the real-world deployment of these safeguards will help us work towards our eventual goal of a broad release of Mythos-class models.

They don't have the compute to make Mythos generally available: that's all there is to it. The exclusivity is also nice from a marketing pov.

New model - that explains why for the past week/two weeks I had this feeling of 4.6 being much less "intelligent". I hope this is only some kind of paranoia and we (and investors) are not being played by the big corp. /s

I just subscribed this month again because I wanted to have some fun with my projects. Tried out opus 4.6 a bit and it is really really bad. Why do people say it's so good? It cannot come up with any half-decent vhdl. No matter the prompt. I'm very disappointed. I was told it's a good model

Because it was good until January 2026, then it detoriated into a opus-3.1. Probably given much less context windows or ram.

It released in February 2026.

And yet another "AI doesn't work" comment without any meaningful information. What were your exact prompts? What was the output? This is like a user of conventional software complaining that "it crashes", without a single bit of detail, like what they did before the crash, if there was any error message, whether the program froze or completely disappeared, etc.

> We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses. Fucking hell. Opus was my go-to for reverse engineering and cybersecurity uses, because, unlike OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Opus didn't care about being asked to RE things or poke at vulns. It would, however, shit a brick and block requests every time something remotely…

It appears we're learning the hard way that we can't rely on capabilities of models that aren't open weights. These can be taken from us at any time, so expect it to get much worse..

I'm not sure how much I trust Anthropic recently. This coming right after a noticeable downgrade just makes me think Opus 4.7 is going to be the same Opus i was experiencing a few months ago rather than actual performance boost. Anthropic need to build back some trust and communicate throtelling/reasoning caps more clearly.

They don't have enough compute for all their customers. OpenAI bet on more compute early on which prompted people to say they're going to go bankrupt and collapse. But now it seems like it's a major strategic advantage. They're 2x'ing usage limits on Codex plans to steal CC customers and it seems to be working. It seems like 90% of Claude's recent problems are strictly lack of compute related.

Is that why Anthropic recently gave out free credits for use in off-hours? Possibly an attempt to more evenly distribute their compute load throughout the day?
