Claude Opus 4 Blog

Short answer: there isn’t a “Claude Opus 4.8” model. The flagship model is Claude 3 Opus (model ID: claude-3-opus-20240229). Below is how to call it via the Anthropic Messages API.

Prerequisites
- Create an Anthropic account and API key: https://console.anthropic.com
- Keep the base URL and headers handy:
  - URL: https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages
  - Headers:
    - x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
    - content-type: application/json
    - anthropic-version: 2023-06-01

Quick start (cURL)
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Give me a 3-bullet summary of the benefits of serverless."}
    ]
  }'

Node.js (official SDK)
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const anthropic = new Anthropic({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY });

const msg = await anthropic.messages.create({
  model: "claude-3-opus-20240229",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about the sea." }],
});

console.log(msg.content[0].text);

Python (official SDK)
from anthropic import Anthropic
import os

client = Anthropic(api_key=os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"])

message = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-opus-20240229",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Draft a friendly welcome email in 3 sentences."}]
)

print(message.content[0].text)

Streaming (server-sent events via cURL)
curl -N https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -H "accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-3-opus-20240229",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "stream": true,
    "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"Explain transformers in 5 short points."}]
  }'

Useful options
- system: Optional system prompt to set behavior.
- temperature: 0–1 (lower = more deterministic).
- top_p, top_k: Sampling controls (optional).
- max_tokens: Required upper bound for output length.

Common errors
- 401 Unauthorized: Check x-api-key and account status.
- 400 Bad Request: Verify JSON shape, model name, and required params (model, messages, max_tokens).
- 429 Rate limit: Back off and retry with exponential delay.

Notes
- If you’re using AWS Bedrock or Google Cloud Vertex AI, use their SDKs and provider-specific model IDs for Claude 3 Opus; headers/endpoints differ.
- For the exact, current model IDs and features, see Anthropic’s model list in the docs/console.

If you actually meant a different provider or a specific SDK (e.g., OpenRouter, Bedrock, Vertex), tell me which one and I’ll tailor the example.

Claude Opus 4.7 vs Claude Opus 4.6: Guide til forbedringer og migrering

Claude Opus 4.7 (udgivet 16. april 2026) leverer en målbar opgradering i forhold til Opus 4.6 med +13% løsningsrate på et coding-benchmark med 93 opgaver, CursorBench går fra 58% til 70%, SWE-bench Pro stiger fra 53.4% til 64.3%, 3.3× højere opløsning i vision (op til 3.75 MP), et nyt indsatsniveau `xhigh`, selvverifikationssløjfer og identisk prissætning på $5/$25 pr. million tokens. 4.7 på lavt indsatsniveau matcher ofte kvaliteten af 4.6 på mellemniveau, hvilket reducerer den effektive omkostning pr. opgave. Den er kun overgået af den begrænset lancerede Mythos Preview.
