Claude Opus 4.7 drops with Claude Code breaking changes
Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7 alongside significant architectural shifts in its official CLI, Claude Code. The update introduces adaptive thinking, an "ex-high" effort level, and a shift toward filesystem-as-memory primitives.
The Opus 4.7 update forces developers to rethink their Claude Code workflows by fundamentally altering how the CLI manages state and reasoning.
- –Adaptive thinking replaces extended thinking, likely offering more dynamic context management during complex tasks
- –The new "ex-high" effort level suggests a shift towards more rigorous, self-correcting autonomous coding loops
- –Relying on filesystem-as-memory primitives indicates a push for greater transparency, storing agent state in local files rather than opaque API sessions
