Before the launch of Claude Opus 4.7, users relied on the capabilities of Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6. These versions offered decent performance but lacked advanced features that many users desired.
On April 16, 2026, Claude Opus 4.7 began rolling out on GitHub Copilot. This upgrade delivers stronger multi-step task performance and more reliable agentic execution compared to its predecessors.
Opus 4.7 replaces both Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6 in the model picker for Copilot Pro+. This change marks a significant shift in how users will interact with the software.
The new version comes with a premium request multiplier of 7.5× until April 30th, allowing for enhanced processing capabilities—this is especially beneficial for high-demand tasks.
Opus 4.7 is accessible to Copilot Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users across multiple regions, including the US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm).
The upgrade boasts impressive performance scores: it records a score of 64.3% on SWE-bench Pro, an even higher score of 87.6% on SWE-bench Verified, and a score of 69.4% on Terminal-Bench 2.0.
Moreover, it achieves a score of 64.4% on Finance Agent v1.1 for knowledge work, demonstrating its capability in critical business applications.
Experts note that Claude Code has undergone complete refactoring to handle multiple parallel Claudes in one window effectively, enhancing user experience further.
