Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card

Haiku not getting an update is becoming telling. I suspect we are reaching a point where the low end models are cannibalizing high end and that isn't going to stop. How will these companies make money in a few years when even the smallest models are amazing?

Isn't it pretty common for the smaller models to release a little while after the bigger ones, for all the big model providers?

This reads more like an advertisement for Mythos, on the first glance

The last update for Haiku was in October, or in startup land, 10 years ago.

The Gemma models are at this point. A 31B model that can fit on a consumer card is as good as Sonnet 4.5. I haven't put it through as much on the coding front or tool calling as I have the Claude or GPT models, but for text processing it is on par with the frontier models.

It seems to be a rule that older models are more expensive than newer ones. The low end models have higher $CPT and worse output. I wonder if the move is to just have one model and quantize if you hit compute constraints
