Trending on X: Anthropic Ships Claude Opus 4.7 With 1M Context As Default
What Happened
Anthropic announced Claude Opus 4.7 is generally available with a 1M token context window as the default tier, no special access required. Pricing holds steady against Opus 4.6 with prompt caching enabled by default for repeat workloads. Early benchmarks show gains on long-document reasoning, codebase-wide refactors, and multi-document compliance review tasks.
My Take
Everyone fixates on raw token counts, but the real shift is caching becoming default — that's what makes million-token windows economically viable, not just technically possible. Expect a wave of "single-prompt" enterprise apps that load entire policy manuals or codebases per call and abandon RAG plumbing. The contrarian read: vector DB vendors who pivoted to "AI infrastructure" in 2024 are about to face the same disruption they once promised to deliver. Watch margins compress in that segment by Q3.
