Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.7 today as its most capable generally available model, but the cybersecurity story is bigger than the benchmarks. The model includes automated safeguards that block high-risk cyber requests, deliberately reduced offensive capabilities compared to Mythos Preview, and a new Cyber Verification Program that gates legitimate security use behind a formal application process. This is the first generally available model where Anthropic is actively testing the controls it needs before it can release Mythos-class capabilities to the public.
