Decision reading

Claude Opus 4.7 has the higher public score estimate, 72.33 versus 57.38, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.

2 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Long documents

    Claude Opus 4.7

    Claude Opus 4.7 has the larger documented context window.

  • Chat turn cost

    1K fresh input + 500 output tokens

    Claude Haiku 4.5

    Claude Haiku 4.5 has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

  • Coding work

    Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks

    Not enough matched evidence

    No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.

    Confidence: limited

  • Agentic work

    Not enough matched evidence

    No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.

    Confidence: limited

  • Cache-heavy agent loop cost

    200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens

    Not enough matched evidence

    The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. Claude Haiku 4.5 does not fit this workload in one request. Claude Opus 4.7 has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

    Confidence: rate-fallback

What is actually comparable

Shape of the matched evidence

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.

Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

What each workload costs

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Cached input priced at the published list-input rate

Claude Haiku 4.5 does not fit this workload in one request. Claude Opus 4.7 has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

Specification differences

Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.

Cached-input rate

A missing cached-input rate falls back to the listed input rate only in the stated workload estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Opus 4.7?

Claude Opus 4.7 has the higher public score estimate, 72.33 versus 57.38, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.

Which is better for coding, Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Opus 4.7?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.

Which is better for agentic tasks, Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Opus 4.7?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.

Which costs less, Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Opus 4.7?

For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0035 on Claude Haiku 4.5 and $0.0175 on Claude Opus 4.7; repository review costs $0.065 and $0.325; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.09 and $1.35.
