Anthropic's latest model is deliberately less powerful than Mythos (and that's the point)

"Anthropic's messaging makes it clear that Opus 4.7 is a safer model, with capabilities that are deliberately dialed down compared to Mythos."

"Users report that they're able to hand off their hardest coding work to the model, whose memory is better than that of prior versions."

"Opus 4.7 has 3x more vision capabilities than prior models, allowing for enhanced performance in various tasks."

Claude Opus 4.7 is an improved model that offers better software engineering, visioning, memory, instruction-following, and financial analysis. However, it is intentionally less capable than the forthcoming Claude Mythos. Anthropic emphasizes safety in Opus 4.7, which is designed to be a safer model with reduced capabilities. The model features improved instruction-following and memory, allowing users to manage complex tasks more effectively. Despite its advancements, Opus 4.7 is overshadowed by the anticipated Mythos, leading to a marketing focus on its limitations.
