"Opus 4.7 is one of the most sophisticated AI models available on the market. It demonstrates amazing results in research, ideation and coding. But it also consumes more tokens when it performs tasks for you."
"In reality, not every task requires using Opus 4.7, but people still choose this model because they want to achieve the best possible results. This leads to a situation of massive overuse of high-reasoning AI models."
"You can save tokens if you choose the right model for your task: Opus for strategy and architecture, Sonnet for execution and iteration, and Haiku for lightweight tasks."
"When it comes to AI model effort, it's better to choose Medium effort for routine work with Sonnet 4.6."
Claude Code users are experiencing issues with token usage limits. Common problems include using the wrong AI model, leading to excessive token consumption. Opus 4.7, while powerful, uses approximately twice the tokens compared to Sonnet for similar tasks. Users are encouraged to select models based on task requirements: Opus for strategy, Sonnet for execution, and Haiku for lightweight tasks. Additionally, opting for Medium effort with Sonnet 4.6 for routine work can help conserve tokens.
