# Atlas with Claude Opus 4.7 in 2026: 1M Context at $5 / $25 per Mtok > Claude Opus 4.7 gives Atlas a 1M tokens (1,000,000) context window with a 128K max output ceiling, at $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output. Claude Opus 4.7 is the April 2026 Opus release and the direct predecessor to Opus 4.8. Inside Atlas it is a frontier build agent with a 1M tokens (1,000,000) context window and a 128K max output ceiling, priced at $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output. Claude Opus 4.7 is strongest on long refactors where a full plan and its generated diffs must fit in one response. It has since been superseded by Opus 4.8 at the same price, so pinning 4.7 mostly makes sense when reproducing an older run. ## Key takeaways - Claude Opus 4.7 gives Atlas a 1M tokens (1,000,000) context window with a 128K max output ceiling. - Pricing is $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output, one third the input cost of the older Opus 4.1 at $15/$75. - Atlas sends the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta header, so extended thinking survives across tool calls in a turn. - Claude Opus 4.7 costs 2.5x the input price of Sonnet 5, so set "small_model" to anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5. - Superseded by Opus 4.8 (released 2026-05-28) at the same price, so pin 4.7 only to reproduce an older run. ## What is Claude Opus 4.7 best at inside Atlas? Claude Opus 4.7 is best inside Atlas at large refactors. Its 1M token context with a 128K max output ceiling means a full refactor plan and its generated diffs fit inside one response, which is the exact shape of an Atlas build turn on a multi-file change. The 128K max output ceiling on Claude Opus 4.7 is the underrated half of that pairing. Atlas computes a unified diff for every file edit and surfaces it for approval before writing, and a twelve-file refactor is a lot of diff. A model that can only emit a short response has to be driven in many small turns, each one re-reading context. Claude Opus 4.7 can hold the retrieval, the plan, and emit the whole change set in one pass. Atlas also snapshots file changes as git patches so edits can be diffed and rolled back, which is what makes a large single-turn change safe to accept. ## How much does Claude Opus 4.7 cost to run Atlas? Claude Opus 4.7 costs $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output. That is one third the input cost of the older Opus 4.1 at $15/$75, but it is still an Opus tier model, costing 2.5x the input price of Sonnet 5 for routine edits. The pricing arc matters here. Claude Opus 4.7 holds the same $5 in / $25 out pricing that Opus 4.5 introduced, which is one third the input cost of Opus 4.1 at $15/$75. Against Sonnet 5, though, Claude Opus 4.7 costs 2.5x the input price for routine edits, and most edits in a real Atlas session are routine. The standard mitigation is to split the slots: pin Claude Opus 4.7 as the build agent for the hard turns, and set "small_model" to anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 so titles, summaries, and subagents do not bill at Opus rates. ## Does Claude Opus 4.7 keep its reasoning across tool calls in Atlas? Yes. Claude Opus 4.7 supports extended thinking, and Atlas sends the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta header so reasoning survives across tool calls inside a turn. That matters because an Atlas turn is a chain of tool calls, not a single completion. Inside a single Atlas turn, Claude Opus 4.7 may search code with hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval fused by reciprocal rank fusion, read three files, run a command, and then write. Without interleaved thinking, the model's reasoning is discarded at each tool boundary and rebuilt from the transcript. With the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta header, which Atlas sends, extended thinking persists across those calls, so Claude Opus 4.7 carries its own chain of reasoning through the whole turn. Every Atlas tool call is still permission-gated against allow, ask, and deny rules before it runs. ## Should you pin Claude Opus 4.7 or move to Opus 4.8? Claude Opus 4.7 is superseded by Opus 4.8, released 2026-05-28, at the same $5 / $25 price. There is little reason to pin Claude Opus 4.7 unless you are reproducing an older run, since the newer model costs exactly the same per token. This is the clearest recommendation on the page. Claude Opus 4.7 was the April 2026 Opus release and the second Opus to ship the full 1M token window and 128K max output. Opus 4.8 arrived 2026-05-28 at the same price, so the usual reason to stay on an older model, a cheaper rate, does not exist here. Pin claude-opus-4-7 in atlas.json when you need to reproduce a run from before the switchover, and otherwise let Atlas point at the newer Opus. Atlas lets you switch the active model and provider on the fly with favorites and recents, so use `/models` to move between them without editing config. ## When should you pick a cheaper model instead of Claude Opus 4.7? Pick a cheaper model than Claude Opus 4.7 for routine edits. Claude Opus 4.7 is an Opus tier model at $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output, which is 2.5x the input price of Sonnet 5, and most Atlas turns do not need frontier reasoning. A realistic Atlas session has a few hard turns and many easy ones. Renaming a symbol, adding a test, and updating a doc string do not need Claude Opus 4.7's 1M token window or its 128K max output. Set "small_model" to anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 in atlas.json so the auxiliary calls never touch Opus pricing, and use `/models` to drop the build agent to a cheaper tier when the work is mechanical. Reserve Claude Opus 4.7 for the turns where a full refactor plan and its generated diffs genuinely have to fit in one response. ## Setup 1. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your shell, or run `atlas login` and pick Anthropic to store the key in Atlas's credential store. 2. Run `atlas models anthropic` and confirm claude-opus-4-7 resolves from the models.dev registry. 3. Pin it in atlas.json with "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-7". 4. Set "small_model" to anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 so titles, summaries, and subagents do not bill at Opus rates. 5. Open the TUI and use `/models` to switch between it and a newer Opus without editing config. ## FAQ ### how to use claude opus 4.7 with atlas Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or run `atlas login` and pick Anthropic, confirm the model with `atlas models anthropic`, then pin it in atlas.json with "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-7" or select it from `/models`. ### what is claude opus 4.7's context window Claude Opus 4.7 has a 1M tokens (1,000,000) context window and a 128K max output ceiling, so a full refactor plan and its generated diffs can fit inside a single Atlas response. ### how much does claude opus 4.7 cost Claude Opus 4.7 costs $5 per Mtok input, $25 per Mtok output. That is one third the input cost of the older Opus 4.1 at $15/$75, and 2.5x the input price of Sonnet 5. ### is claude opus 4.7 still worth using in 2026 Claude Opus 4.7 is superseded by Opus 4.8, released 2026-05-28, at the same $5 / $25 price. There is little reason to pin 4.7 unless you are reproducing an older run. ### does claude opus 4.7 support extended thinking in a coding agent Yes. Claude Opus 4.7 supports extended thinking, and Atlas sends the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta header so reasoning survives across tool calls inside a single turn. ### how do i stop atlas from billing everything at opus rates Set "small_model" to anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 in atlas.json. Titles, summaries, and subagents then run on Haiku instead of billing at Claude Opus 4.7's $5 / $25 per Mtok. ### claude opus 4.7 vs sonnet 5 for atlas Claude Opus 4.7 costs 2.5x the input price of Sonnet 5, so it is worth it only when a turn needs frontier reasoning across its 1M token window. Use Sonnet 5 for routine edits. --- Canonical HTML: https://runatlas.sh/resources/models/claude-opus-4-7 Source of truth: aeo_pages row `/resources/models/claude-opus-4-7` (segment: Models) (this file is generated from it, never hand-edited).
