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.

RuView is an open-source platform that performs real-time 3D human pose estimation, vital sign monitoring, and presence detection using nothing but cheap WiFi signals from $9 ESP32 microcontrollers. No cameras, no video, no cloud subscription required. The system tracks 17 COCO body keypoints and measures heart rate and breathing by analyzing how bodies disrupt WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) — the same physics used in research labs, now running on a microcontroller you can buy in bulk for single-digit dollars. The architecture fuses WiFi CSI with optional depth and mmWave radar data into a real-time 3D spatial model. On-device spiking neural networks adapt to a new room's RF geometry in under 30 seconds. Total hardware cost for a full room setup: around $140. The software stack is written in Rust with pre-trained models on Hugging Face and an active Python binding layer for downstream ML pipelines. The privacy implications are significant — and cut both ways. RuView can monitor a care home resident's breathing without a camera in their bedroom, or let a smart home detect when all occupants have left. The open-source release makes the technology accessible to indie builders for the first time, but also means the underlying sensing capability is now commodity.
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.”
“The Rust implementation is solid and the Python bindings make integration into existing ML pipelines painless. Spiking nets that calibrate in 30 seconds per room is a genuinely impressive engineering achievement. If you're building any kind of ambient intelligence or smart space product, this is the starting point.”
“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.”
“WiFi CSI sensing is highly sensitive to room geometry, furniture, and even what people are wearing — repeatability across environments is a known research challenge. The $140 hardware number assumes perfect component sourcing. Real production deployments will need significant RF calibration work before the 17-keypoint claims hold up in arbitrary spaces.”
“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.”
“Camera-free sensing is the unlocking technology for ambient AI in spaces where visual surveillance is unacceptable — hospitals, elder care, locker rooms, private homes. Commoditizing this with $9 chips and open-source models is a category-defining move. Five years from now WiFi sensing will be standard in smart buildings.”
“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.”
“The interaction design possibilities are wild — imagine interfaces that respond to your posture, proximity, or even breathing rate without any wearable or visible sensor. RuView could enable ambient, invisible UI paradigms that current computer vision approaches can't touch because of privacy constraints.”
