Anthropic released Opus 4.7 on yesterday, putting out the latest version of Claude after the company did not quite ship its Mythos model last week. The new launch drew an uneven reaction on X, where some users said the upgrade did not feel like the leap they expected.
That reaction matters because Claude is being watched as a direct rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Anthropic is trying to keep its model line moving even as users say they are being throttled on their token usage on a daily basis. Julie Hyman said she liked how the company gives each model a name and a number, while Myles Udland called the release “the watered down Mythos, the safe Mythos.”
The company has also said it does not have enough compute, and Jensen Wong said earlier this week that they do not have enough compute. That shortage sits at the center of the rollout: Anthropic is pushing new models while also warning that it cannot always supply enough capacity for the demand it is seeing.
Anthropic has separately expressed deep concerns about the cyber risks its new Mythos AI could present, which adds another layer of caution to the pace of its releases. Against that backdrop, Ramp lead economist Eric Karazanian is estimating that Anthropic’s enterprise business is going to overtake OpenAI’s soon, a striking bet on a company still working through delays, throttling complaints and limits on compute.
The clearest read for now is that Anthropic wants Claude Design to look like steady progress, but the market is hearing something messier: a fast-moving product line constrained by capacity and shadowed by risk.
