Benchmark data for Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) and GPT-5.1 is coming soon on BenchLM.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 17 shared benchmark results across 6 evidence categories; 0 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

BenchLM has partial data for these models, but not enough overlapping benchmark coverage to produce a fair score-level comparison yet.

Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) is priced at $5.00 input / $25.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $1.25 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.1. Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) has the larger context window at 1M, compared with 200K for GPT-5.1.

Category breakdown

Frequently Asked Questions (3)

Can I compare Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) and GPT-5.1 on BenchLM yet?

Not fully yet. BenchLM is tracking both models, but the sourced benchmark breakdown for this comparison is still coming soon.

Why does this comparison show “coming soon”?

BenchLM only shows category winners and benchmark-level calls when we have sourced results that can be compared fairly. For these models, the public benchmark coverage is not complete enough yet.

What data is available for Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) and GPT-5.1 today?

Claude Opus 4.7 (Adaptive): $5.00 input / $25.00 output per 1M tokens GPT-5.1: $1.25 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens Both model pages still include creator, context window, reasoning mode, and other metadata while benchmark coverage fills in.
