Anthropic has been making rapid advancements recently. On April 16, 2026, Timothy Beck Werth reported for Mashable about the launch of Claude Opus 4.7, which is now available. This new model, although not as powerful as Claude Mythos, which was deemed too risky for public release, represents Anthropic’s most intelligent model for public use. Claude Opus models are known for hybrid reasoning capabilities, allowing for multi-step reasoning and advanced coding. The Claude Opus 4.7 is available through Claude AI, its API, and partnerships like Microsoft Foundry. It maintains the same pricing as the previous version but offers enhanced capabilities in coding, visual intelligence, and document analysis. Users have found it reliable for complex tasks without needing constant supervision. Performance benchmarks place it above many models but not exceeding the unreleased Claude Mythos. The model card available from Anthropic offers more insights on these benchmarks and enhancements in safety. Timothy Beck Werth is the Tech Editor at Mashable, bringing over 15 years of journalistic and editorial experience.
