The Claude-lash is here: Opus 4.7 is burning through tokens — and some people's patience By Henry Chandonnet You're currently following this author! Want to unfollow? Unsubscribe via the link in your email. Claude has a new model, Opus 4.7. Some social media users called it "dumb" and too costly on token use. Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto via Getty Images 2026-04-17T20:29:16.532Z Anthropic released a new model, Opus 4.7. Some users on X and Reddit aren't happy with it. Critics say that Opus 4.7 makes mistakes, is "combative," and burns through tokens. Other users say that the costs are worth it. Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan is a fan. Anthropic says its new AI model, Opus 4.7, should feel "more intelligent, agentic, and precise." Some users aren't feeling the joy. The backlash to the new Claude model — a relatively rare occurrence for an AI product many view as the gold standard in AI — has gained traction on social media.Anthropic is coming off months of widespread public celebration. The technical chops of Claude Code and Claude Cowork have boosted the company's image, and chatbot fans have long admired Claude's writing abilities. After the company's fight with the Department of Defense, Claude went No. 1 in the App Store. ChatGPT is used by 83% of Moderna employees says Kate Cronin, chief brand officer But hot on the heels of Anthropic users fretting that the previous model, Opus 4.6, had been "nerfed," the early reactions to 4.7 indicate Anthropic has a growing Claude backlash on its hands.What are people saying about Opus 4.7?There are examples of supposed Opus 4.7 flubs across social media. One Reddit post titled, "Claude Opus 4.7 is a serious regression, not an upgrade," has 2,300 upvotes. An X user's suggestion that Opus 4.7 wasn't really an improvement over Opus 4.6 got 14,000 likes.In one informal but popular test of AI intelligence, Opus 4.7 appears to say that there were two Ps in "strawberry." Another user screenshot shows it saying that it didn't cross reference because it was "being lazy." Some Redditors found that Opus 4.7 was rewriting their résumés with new schools and last names. Multiple X users posited that Opus 4.7 had simply gotten dumber.Some X users have suggested the culprit is the AI model's reasoning times. Anthropic says the new "adaptive reasoning" function lets the model decide when to think for longer or shorter periods. One user wrote that they couldn't "get Opus 4.7 to think." Another wrote that it "nerfs performance.""N...
Claude Opus 4.7 is here: What changed, how to get more out of it, and ...
Anthropic just released Opus 4.7. The most powerful Claude model.Every time a new AI model drops, the announcement sounds the same: “Smarter. Better. More capable.”Cool. But what does that actually mean for you?I went through Anthropic's official announcement, read tips from the creator of Claude Code, and did my own tests to find what’s good about Opus 4.7 (so you don't have to)In this guide, you’ll learn:The top 4 things that changed in Opus 4.7How to get more out of Opus 4.7What to watch for if you’ve been using Opus 4.6Your first 30 minutes with Opus 4.7 (find out whether 4.7 is good or bad news for your workflow)Click here to take my Claude course (from beginner to pro)Opus 4.7 can see images at 3x higher resolution than any previous Claude model (up to around 3.75 megapixels).This means Claude can actually read:Dense screenshots (dashboards, analytics, small UI text)Complex diagramsDetailed charts with small numbersScanned documentsIf you upload a packed screenshot and Claude used to miss half the text, that problem is mostly gone now.Opus was already my favorite model for instruction following. That’s one of the reasons why I switched to Claude (wrote about it here).Opus 4.7 is substantially better at this.But here’s the catch: prompts written for older models might produce unexpected results now. Why? Because 4.7 takes your instructions literally. Older models interpreted things loosely or skipped parts entirely.You might want to re-check your saved prompts.Older Claude models used a fixed thinking budget. Opus 4.7 replaces that with adaptive thinkingThe model now decides on its own when to think deeply and when to skip thinking altogether. Simple tasks get quick responses. Hard problems get more thought behind the scenes. Over a long session, this means faster responses and less wasted compute.Adaptive thinking shouldn’t be confused with the model router (as we’ve seen with GPT-5). According to a Claude PM, this is the model being trained to decide when to think based on the context. For more control, try these prompts suggested by Anthropic:More thinking: Try something like: “Think carefully and step-by-step before responding; this problem is harder than it looks.”Less thinking: Try: “Prioritize responding quickly rather than thinking deeply. When in doubt, respond directly.”The first option gives you more accuracy. The second saves tokens but might miss nuance on harder tasks. Pick based on what you're working on.There’s also a new effort level ...
