11Anthropic's strongest coding model yet is now the default on Max and Team Premium, and available everywhere else from `/model`. It adds a new `xhigh` effort level that sits between `high` and `max`: best results for most coding and agentic tasks, applied as the default the first time you switch to 4.7. `/effort` now opens an interactive arrow-key slider when you call it without arguments, so you can dial intelligence against speed without remembering the level names.
