Claude 4.7

1. Is 15% context growth per loop a fair benchmark for agent cost estimation? (www.reddit.com)

   I’ve been running some math on recursive agentic loops using April 2026 rates (specifically for GPT-5.4 and Claude 4.7). In my tests, I’m seeing a massive cost "hockey stick" around loop 15-20 because of how the context grows.

2. Thoughts on Claude 4.7 w/adaptive thinking vs Claude 4.6 w/extended thinking? (www.reddit.com)

   I heavily prefer 4.6 vs 4.7. Idk if I need to make my prompts more detailed with 4.7 but I like how 4.6 interprets a lot of what I want to do without me needing to spell it out, and if I feel like its not properly interpretting I give more…

3. Claude 4.7 named a journalist from 125 words of unpublished writing (www.reddit.com)

   Surprised this isn't a bigger topic but you tell me! In short: writer Kelsey Piper pasted 125 words of an unpublished political column into 4.7 and got her own name back.

   How Anthropic's Claude 4.7 uses two runtime probes, trained reflexes, differential capability reduction, and a feedback loop to block cyber misuse at every layer.

5. non-benchmaxxed fun AI question with Terminator reference - I think Claude won (www.reddit.com)

   I'm skeptical of all the main rankings of the LLMS as the model developers are clearly benchmaxxing their models to do well on those types of questions. So I tried a question that surely no LLM has ever seen before.

8. Claude 4.7 is better. Systems thinking is still the gap. No model should decide what 'done' means. (www.reddit.com)

   I built this during the Opus 4.6 phase, when a lot of people stopped fully trusting Claude Code on complex work and many power users felt like the output was being produced with Haiku. That was my experience too.

9. Every Claude 4.7 Improvement Makes the Security Problem Worse (grith.ai via hn)

   Claude Opus 4.7 turns AI agents from tools you supervise into systems you deploy. Every improvement - auto mode, focus mode, recaps, adaptive effort, auto-approval - makes the unsolved security problem worse.

10. Early impressions of Claude 4.7 (www.reddit.com)

    +17 22w opus

    I have been testing Opus 4.7 on Max 5 since its launch (over 12 hrs), mostly on longer reasoning, exploratory prompts, and back and forth refinement. Compared to my experience with Opus 4.5, 4.7 feels a bit more deliberate in how it approa…

11. Claude 4.6 VS 4.7 comparison... The truth is somewhere in the middle! (www.reddit.com)

    I decided to do a Claude comparison tonight. I started with the usual question about what devious thing Trump did today, and then speculated if JD Vance is a sociopath.

12. Claude 4.7 just dropped and I'm already cooked (www.reddit.com)

    Told myself I'd just try Opus 4.7 once. $40 in API credits later...
