Claude Opus 4.7 hits stability snags

The latest Opus 4.7 reliability issues suggest that pushing the frontier of 1M-token context windows and "xhigh" effort levels is taxing Anthropic's infrastructure.

• –Intermittent failures in the first month of rollout indicate significant scaling challenges for the new flagship series.
• –Stability issues directly impact Claude Code users, highlighting the extreme sensitivity of agentic workflows to API latency and error rates.
• –Frequent infrastructure changes, including recent outbound IP shifts, are causing friction for enterprise teams with strict security allowlists.
• –While model performance remains industry-leading, the high-compute "xhigh" effort level appears particularly prone to timeouts during peak US East Coast hours.
