Opus 4.7 launched as flagship reasoning model with breaking API changes. Opus 4.7 replaces Opus 4.6 as the most capable generally available model for complex reasoning and agentic coding tasks, maintaining the same $5/$25 per MTok pricing. The upgrade includes vision improvements and API breaking changes — review the migration guide before upgrading. Simultaneously, Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 entered deprecation with retirement scheduled for June 15, 2026; migrate to Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 respectively.

Extended thinking display field and interactive effort tuning shipped. The new display field for extended thinking lets you omit thinking content from responses for faster streaming while preserving the signature for multi-turn continuity — billing unchanged. The /effort command now opens an interactive slider for tuning speed vs. intelligence on Opus 4.7, with xhigh sitting between high and max. Pro users see improved cost breakdowns by model and cache-hit rates, plus cache-expiration hints with token counts in a new format (1.5m for millions).

1M token context window now generally available; media limit raised to 600. The 1M token context window is generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 at standard pricing with no beta header required. Media limit increased from 100 to 600 images/PDF pages per request with 1M context. The Models API now returns max_input_tokens, max_tokens, and a capabilities object for programmatic feature discovery. Max tokens cap raised to 300k on the Message Batches API (include output-300k-2026-03-24 beta header).

Managed Agents and ant CLI launched for autonomous operation. The Managed Agents API (beta, requires managed-agents-2026-04-01 header) provides fully managed agent harness with secure sandboxing, built-in tools, and server-sent event streaming. The new ant CLI offers rapid Claude API interaction, native Claude Code integration, and YAML-based resource versioning.

Computer use research preview available for Pro/Max without setup. Claude can click, type, navigate, and perform tasks directly on-screen — no client installation required. Deepens Cowork Dispatch usefulness by allowing Claude to act on your behalf. Claude Code added computer-use support with the /tui command for flicker-free rendering and push notification tool integration for mobile.

Advisor tool in public beta for high-quality long-horizon tasks. Pair a faster executor model with a higher-intelligence advisor that provides strategic guidance mid-generation. Achieves near-advisor-solo quality while bulk token generation happens at executor rates. Include the advisor-tool-2026-03-01 beta header.

Claude Cowork reached general availability with enterprise controls. Available on macOS and Windows via Claude Desktop, Cowork gains Analytics API access for engagement metrics, usage analytics, and OpenTelemetry support. Enterprise admins control role-based access via custom roles and group management (manual or SCIM), restricting Claude capabilities by department.

Interactive content and office integrations expanded. Claude for iOS and Android now render fully interactive apps with live charts, sketches, and shareable assets. Claude's core model generates custom charts, diagrams, and visualizations inline. Excel and PowerPoint add-ins share full conversation context across applications and support skills via LLM gateways (Bedrock, Vertex
