Decision reading

Claude Opus 4.7 has the higher public score estimate, 72.33 versus 54.96, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.

4 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

    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. DeepSeek V3.2 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

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, Claude Opus 4.7 or DeepSeek V3.2?

Claude Opus 4.7 has the higher public score estimate, 72.33 versus 54.96, 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 Opus 4.7 or DeepSeek V3.2?

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 Opus 4.7 or DeepSeek V3.2?

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 Opus 4.7 or DeepSeek V3.2?

For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0175 on Claude Opus 4.7 and $0.00049 on DeepSeek V3.2; repository review costs $0.325 and $0.01526; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $1.35 and $0.0154. DeepSeek V3.2 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.

Which has the larger context window, Claude Opus 4.7 or DeepSeek V3.2?

Claude Opus 4.7 has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 128K.
