Anthropic releasing Opus 4.7 TOMORROW?

Summary

You're about to see Claude Opus 4 drop, possibly as soon as tomorrow. Multiple signals point to an imminent release: it appeared on Google Vertex AI's model list, source code leaks revealed version strings, and Polymarket betting odds jumped from 20% to 98% for an April 2025 release. The Information reported Anthropic is shipping 4.7 with a new AI design tool this week. This comes after Opus 4.6 has been performing terribly—so bad that users are abandoning it for GPT-4 and other alternatives. The pattern mirrors what happened before 4.6's release, when 4.5 got significantly degraded. Right now, Anthropic appears to be throttling current users to allocate GPU resources toward enterprise clients and upcoming products like Opus 4.7 and the massive Mythos 5 model (currently only available to security researchers). The 73-day release cycle suggests this was planned, not a panic response to 4.6's poor performance. Stock movements show insiders betting against Adobe and Figma, indicating 4.7 might be powerful enough to disrupt design tools. If you're currently using Claude, you've likely noticed the quality drop. GPT-4 is performing better right now, and tools like Cline Code and Kilo Code let you swap between models easily. The frustration stems from Anthropic degrading their current product before launching the next one—a questionable marketing strategy that disrespects paying users. When 4.7 drops, expect new pricing tiers designed to extract more revenue. The migration from one AI coding tool to another takes about a month to do properly, so rushing to switch platforms isn't recommended. Bottom line: hold tight for the 4.7 release before making major workflow changes.
