Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.7 on Tuesday and OpenAI followed with GPT-5.5 less than 48 hours later. This video walks through what each release actually changed, where the benchmarks land, and why pricing — not raw performance — is the real story.
What's covered:
• Anthropic's Opus release cadence: Opus 4.5 in late September, Opus 4.7 this week
• Opus 4.7 context window expansion from 200K to 500K tokens
• Opus 4.7 vs GPT-5.5 on SWE-Bench Verified
• Pricing gap between the two frontier models
• OpenAI DevDay EU scheduled for December 11 in London
• What the next release cycle looks like for both labs
