Anthropic on Thursday announced a new artificial intelligence model, Claude Opus 4.7, which the company said is an improvement over past models but is "less broadly capable" than its most recent offering, Claude Mythos Preview.
Claude Opus 4.7 is better at software engineering, following instructions, completing real-world work and is its most powerful generally available model, Anthropic said. But the model's cyber capabilities are not as advanced as Claude Mythos Preview, which Anthropic rolled out to a select group of companies as part of a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing earlier this month.
"We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses," Anthropic said in a release. "What we learn from the real-world deployment of these safeguards will help us work towards our eventual goal of a broad release of Mythos-class models."
Since its founding in 2021, Anthropic has spent years carefully crafting its reputation as a firm that's more dedicated to safe and responsible AI deployment than rivals like OpenAI.
The launch of Project Glasswing has sparked a number of high-profile meetings between members of the Trump administration, tech CEOs and bank CEOs about the security risks of powerful AI models.
