Anthropic leak tees up Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.8

This looks less like a surprise roadmap reveal and more like classic pre-release plumbing leaking through build artifacts. The real signal is that Anthropic is keeping both tiers moving in lockstep, which usually means tighter price/performance laddering for developers.

• –Internal version refs are not confirmation of a release, but they are a strong indicator that model work is already underway
• –Opus and Sonnet advancing together suggests Anthropic is still using Sonnet as the practical workhorse while pushing Opus at the frontier
• –For developers, the important part is timing: expect incremental capability jumps and tooling changes before any formal model announcement
• –Leaks like this often overstate certainty, so roadmap noise should be treated cautiously until Anthropic ships or documents the models
