Claude Code hasn't updated yet it seems, but I was able to test it using `claude --model claude-opus-4-7`

Or `/model claude-opus-4-7` from an existing session

edit: `/model claude-opus-4-7[1m]` to select the 1m context window version

~~That just changes it to Opus 4, not Opus 4.7~~

My statusline showed _Opus 4_, but it did indeed accept this line.

I did change it to `/model claude-opus-4-7[1m]`, because it would pick the non-1M context model instead.

Does it run for you? I can select it this way but it says 'There's an issue with the selected model (claude-opus-4-7). It may not exist or you may not have access to it. Run /model to pick a different model.'

Weird, yeah it works for me

API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"\"thinking.type.enabled\" is not supported for this model. Use \"thinking.type.adaptive\" and \"output_config.effort\" to control thinking behavior."},"request_id":"req_011Ca7enRv4CPAEqrigcRNvd"}

Eep. AFAIK the issues most people have been complaining about with Opus 4.6 recently is due to adaptive thinking. Looks like that is not only sticking around but mandatory for this newer model.

edit: I still can't get it to work. Opus 4.6 can't even figure out what is wrong with my config. Speaking of which, claude configuration is so confusing there are .claude/ (in project) setting.json + a settings.local.json file, then a global ~/.claude/ dir with the same configuration files. None of them have anything defined for adaptive thinking or thinking type enable. None of these strings exist on my machine. Running latest version, 2.1.110
