Anthropic Releases Claude Opus 4.7 AI Model, Calls It Less Advanced Than Claude Mythos

2:00 PM IST · April 17, 2026

Anthropic, on Thursday, released another major update to its Opus model, dubbed Claude Opus 4.7. The new artificial intelligence (AI) model comes just days after the San Francisco-based startup released Claude Mythos, a model which is so capable at cybersecurity tasks that the company has limited its access. Opus 4.7 is built using the same architecture but has been intentionally kept less advanced to ensure that it cannot be used to carry out cyberattacks. Compared to the older Opus model, the latest iteration also brings improvements across coding and vision-related tasks.
