296296| Effort | Guidance for Claude Opus 4.7 |
297297| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
298298| `low` | Efficient, but best for short, scoped tasks. Pair `low` with explicit checklists if your task has multiple sections. |
299| `medium` | The drop-in for the average workflow where you want good results while reducing costs. |
299| `medium` | The setting for the average workflow where you want good results while reducing costs. |
300300| `high` | Advanced use cases that still need a balance of intelligence and token consumption. This is often the best balance of quality and token efficiency. |
301301| `xhigh` | The recommended starting point for coding and agentic work, and for exploratory tasks such as repeated tool calling, detailed web search, and knowledge-base search. Expect meaningfully higher token usage than `high`. |
302302| `max` | Reserve for frontier problems. On most workloads `max` adds significant cost for relatively small quality gains, and on some structured-output or less intelligence-sensitive tasks it can lead to overthinking. |
