Claude Opus 4.7 availability: Claude apps, API and GitHub Copilot

Quick status check

Claude apps: officially generally available

For Claude apps, the official status is straightforward. Claude Help Center release notes state that Anthropic’s latest model, Claude Opus 4.7, “is now generally available”.

That means the answer to “Is Opus 4.7 available in Claude apps?” is yes, based on Anthropic’s own release notes.

One practical caveat: the provided official sources do not spell out every possible visibility condition by account plan, region, organization policy or interface. If you do not see Opus 4.7 in your own Claude account, the most reliable check is still the model selector inside the Claude app you are using.

Claude API: use claude-opus-4-7

For developers, Anthropic’s announcement says that claude-opus-4-7 can be used via the Claude API. Anthropic’s API documentation also shows a request example using the same model ID.

The model ID to check in your API configuration is:

claude-opus-4-7

If you are moving an existing workload from Opus 4.6 or another Claude model, it is worth reviewing Anthropic’s technical notes before switching production traffic. Anthropic’s “What’s new in Claude Opus 4.7” documentation says Opus 4.7 introduces task budgets and a new tokenizer. It also says /v1/messages/count_tokens may return different token counts than it did for Claude Opus 4.6, and that text processing may use roughly 1x to 1.35x as many tokens as previous models, depending on content.

GitHub Copilot: supported, but not necessarily visible to everyone yet

For GitHub Copilot, the precise answer is: GitHub has announced Claude Opus 4.7 for Copilot, but availability is rolling out gradually.

That distinction matters. If you do not see Opus 4.7 in Copilot today, that does not by itself prove Copilot does not support it. The rollout may simply not have reached your account, organization or particular Copilot surface yet.

According to GitHub’s Changelog, Claude Opus 4.7 is being made available to Copilot Pro+, Business and Enterprise users. GitHub also lists model-picker surfaces including VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, Cloud Agent, github.com, mobile, JetBrains, Xcode and Eclipse.

If Opus 4.7 is missing in Copilot, check these first

1. Your Copilot plan. GitHub names Copilot Pro+, Business and Enterprise as the relevant plans for Claude Opus 4.7.
2. The surface you are using. Check a listed model-picker surface such as VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, github.com or another supported IDE.
3. Rollout timing. Because GitHub describes the rollout as gradual, some eligible users may need to wait before the model appears.

Bottom line

• Claude apps: Claude Opus 4.7 is generally available, according to Claude Help Center release notes.
• Claude API: Claude Opus 4.7 is available via the model ID claude-opus-4-7.
• GitHub Copilot: GitHub has announced Claude Opus 4.7 for Copilot Pro+, Business and Enterprise, but the rollout is staged, so not every user may see it immediately in the model picker.
