Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's latest flagship model, released April 16. It scores 87.6% on SWE-bench Verified — a 13-point improvement over Claude Opus 4.6 — and 94.2% on GPQA, making it competitive with the top frontier models on coding and scientific reasoning benchmarks. The context window extends to 1 million tokens with substantially improved retrieval accuracy at the far end of the window. The release introduces "Routines" — a first-party feature for defining persistent agentic workflows that Claude can execute autonomously across multiple sessions. Routines are defined in structured YAML and can include tool calls, conditional logic, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Anthropic positions this as a more reliable alternative to custom agent frameworks for common use cases. Pricing remains unchanged from Opus 4.6: $5/M input tokens, $25/M output tokens. The vision input resolution has been increased by 3.3x, which meaningfully improves performance on documents, diagrams, and UI screenshots. Available via API immediately and rolling out to Claude.ai Pro and Team plans over the next week.

MiMo-V2.5-Pro
Xiaomi's frontier multimodal agent — 1M context, 57% SWE-bench, $1/M tokens

MiMo-V2.5-Pro is Xiaomi's latest and most capable AI model, released April 22, 2026. It combines a 1-million-token context window with multimodal capabilities — vision, audio, and text — in a single agent-ready model. On SWE-bench Pro, it resolves 57.2% of tasks, placing it near the top tier alongside GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6. What's genuinely surprising isn't the benchmark score — it's the efficiency. MiMo-V2.5-Pro uses roughly 42% fewer tokens than Kimi K2.6 at equivalent benchmark scores, and about 40–60% fewer tokens than comparable frontier models on ClawEval trajectories. That translates directly to lower API costs: the model is priced at approximately $1 per million input tokens. Xiaomi is best known for smartphones and consumer hardware, and MiMo represents a serious pivot into AI services. The company has been quietly building foundation model capabilities for two years, and MiMo-V2.5-Pro is the clearest signal yet that consumer hardware companies won't sit on the sidelines of the foundation model race.
Reviewer scorecard
“87.6% on SWE-bench isn't a small improvement — that's a meaningful jump for real-world coding tasks. The Routines feature addresses the biggest pain point with Claude in production: reliable multi-step agent behavior without building a custom framework.”
“Frontier SWE-bench scores at $1/M tokens is a pricing inflection point. If you're building code agents and paying 3-4x that with other providers, MiMo-V2.5-Pro is worth a serious benchmark on your specific workloads. The 1M context window and multimodal support don't hurt either.”
“Benchmarks look great but the 1M context window performance hasn't been independently validated at the limits. Routines sound powerful but the YAML spec is still in beta with known edge cases. If you're running stable Opus 4.6 workflows, wait a week for the community to stress-test this before migrating.”
“Xiaomi has virtually no track record in enterprise AI reliability, SLAs, or developer ecosystems. Their API infrastructure is unproven under production load, and 'matching frontier benchmarks' on SWE-bench doesn't mean it'll perform comparably on your actual use case. Wait for the community to stress-test this in production.”
“Anthropic is quietly winning the enterprise coding agent race. The combination of top SWE-bench scores with the Routines feature is a moat — developers don't switch orchestration frameworks easily once workflows are deployed. This release deepens that lock-in strategically.”
“This is what happens when smartphone makers with massive scale and tight efficiency cultures enter foundation models. Xiaomi's supply chain discipline maps naturally onto token efficiency. Expect more consumer hardware companies — Samsung, OPPO, others — to ship serious frontier-tier models within the next 12 months.”
“The 3.3x vision resolution upgrade is underrated for design work. Document analysis, layout review, and iterating on visual mockups are all dramatically better. I can finally paste a full Figma export and get coherent feedback on the entire design rather than just the top half.”
“Multimodal at $1/M tokens opens up use cases that were just too expensive before. Vision-capable agents at this price point mean small studios and solo creators can build real production workflows around AI vision without the cost anxiety of frontier model pricing.”
