# Claude Opus 4.7

## Profile
Anthropic's advanced model, said to have been released in April. While it loses to [[entity-gpt-5-5|GPT-5.5]] in raw execution and data tasks, it maintains a strong edge in **visual composition, taste, and blank-canvas design** (see [[claim-opus-visual-superiority]] and [[concept-visual-taste-vs-density]]).

## Capabilities & Limits
- ✅ Strong at: blank-canvas visual design, lighting, composition, grounded aesthetic scenes.
- ❌ Weak at: data-heavy execution, multi-step messy migrations, executive judgment on adversarial briefs.

## Routing
- Default for [[action-route-visual-design]].
- Used as the 'taste' source in [[framework-reference-ui-workflow]] / [[action-mockup-to-code]].

## Availability Caveat
Despite its design strengths, [[claim-anthropic-uptime-lag|Anthropic's infrastructure issues]] make Opus a poor default for daily high-volume work.

## External Verifiability
**Not publicly confirmed.** Anthropic's most recent publicly documented frontier products are in the Claude 3.5 / Claude 4 series; 'Opus 4.7' is unverified as of the enrichment cutoff. The shadow of [[question-mythos-release|'Mythos']] hangs over its competitive position.
