Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 on Wednesday with impressive numbers: 10.9 percentage points higher on SWE-bench Pro (the gold-standard coding test), 3x more production tasks resolved on Rakuten’s benchmark, 98.5% on visual acuity up from 54.5%, and state-of-the-art scores on finance evaluations.
