Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card

Have they effectively communicated what a 20x or 10x Claude subscription actually means? And with Claude 4.7 increasing usage by 1.35x does that mean a 20x plan is now really a 13x plan (no token increase on the subscription) or a 27x plan (more tokens given to compensate for more computer cost) relative to Claude Opus 4.6?

Dumb question but why are chemical weapons always addressed as a risk with llms? Is the idea that they contain how to make chemical weapons or that they would guide someone on how?

Would there not already be websites that contain that information? How is an llm different, i guess, from some sort of anarchist cookbook thing.

Haiku not getting an update is becoming telling. I suspect we are reaching a point where the low end models are cannibalizing high end and that isn't going to stop. How will these companies make money in a few years when even the smallest models are amazing?

Interesting that they don't provide result summaries as tables or charts. Opus 4.7 clearly has improvements over Opus 4.6 after cross-comparing with the Mythos system card, which does have tables and charts. Maybe they want to keep most of the hype on Mythos?

This reads more like an advertisement for Mythos, on the first glance

I'm actually surprised at how it performed compared to 4.6 and also compared to mythos. Will be fun to use.

This card is a 272 page report. So now we are redefining names :)

WAG but I wonder if a hijacked LLM could also assist with figuring out how to obtain required materials, not just provide the recipe.

The Gemma models are at this point. A 31B model that can fit on a consumer card is as good as Sonnet 4.5. I haven't put it through as much on the coding front or tool calling as I have the Claude or GPT models, but for text processing it is on par with the frontier models.

It seems to be a rule that older models are more expensive than newer ones. The low end models have higher $CPT and worse output. I wonder if the move is to just have one model and quantize if you hit compute constraints

Isn't it pretty common for the smaller models to release a little while after the bigger ones, for all the big model providers?

Does the model card fit in the model's context :)

The last update for Haiku was in October, or in startup land, 10 years ago.
