Not showing up in claude code by default on the latest version. Apparently this is how to set it:

/model claude-opus-4-7

Coming from anthropic's support page, so hopefully they did't hallucinate the docs, cause the model name on claude code says:

/model claude-opus-4-7 ⎿ Set model to Opus 4

what model are you?

I'm Claude Opus 4 (model ID: claude-opus-4-7).

Sounds like it was added as of .111, so update and it might work?

I'm on the max $200 plan, so maybe its that?

Same, if we're punished for being on the highest tier... what is anthropic even doing.
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by unshavedyak on Thursday April 16, 2026 @12:30PM (#47795856)
You're not, it wasn't released yet. Update to 111 and you'll see it (i'm on Max20, i do)

Heck, mine just automatically set it to 4.7 and xhigh effort (also a new feature?)

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by anonfunction on Thursday April 16, 2026 @12:34PM (#47795912)
Thanks, I was already on the latest claude code, I just restarted it and now it's showing 4.7 and xhigh.

xhigh was mentioned in the release post, it's the new default and between high and max.

Just love that I'm paying $200 for models features they announce I can't use!

Related features that were announced I have yet to be able to use:

    $ claude --enable-auto-mode 
    auto mode is unavailable for your plan

    $ claude
    /memory 
    Auto-dream: on · /dream to run
    Unknown skill: dream

I think that was a typo on my end, its "/model claude-opus-4-7" not "/model claude-opus-4.7"
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by anonfunction on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:32AM (#47794770)
That sets it to opus 4:

/model claude-opus-4.7 ⎿ Model 'claude-opus-4.7' not found

/model claude-opus-4-7 ⎿ Set model to Opus 4

/model ⎿ Set model to Opus 4.6 (1M context) (default)

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by freedomben on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:19AM (#47794508)
Thanks, but not working for me, and I'm on the $200 max plan

Edit: Not 30 seconds later, claude code took an update and now it works!

Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by redml on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:36AM (#47794867)
--model claude-opus-4-7 works as well
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by dionian on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:26AM (#47794647)
It's up now, update claude code
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by klipitkas on Thursday April 16, 2026 @10:55AM (#47794020)
It does not work, it says Claude Opus 4 not 4.7
Re:Claude Opus 4.7 by mesmertech on Thursday April 16, 2026 @11:05AM (#47794250)
I think its just a visual/default thing, cause Opus 4.0 isn't offered on claude code anymore. And opus 4.7 is on their official docs as a model you can change to, on claude code

Just ask it what model it is(even in new chat).

what model are you?

I'm Claude Opus 4 (model ID: claude-opus-4-7).
