Pick o1 for

No clear advantage on the data points we measure. Compare on your actual prompts.

Pick Claude Opus 4.7 for

  • output-heavy workloads — claude-opus-4.7 is meaningfully cheaper per output token
  • input-heavy workloads — claude-opus-4.7 is cheaper per input token
  • tasks needing a larger context window — claude-opus-4.7 fits 5x more tokens than o1

Switching between them

For most use cases, switching providers means updating the model id and the request shape if the providers differ. Within the same provider, it's usually a single-line change.

From o1 to Claude Opus 4.7

# Before
model = "o1"

# After
model = "claude-opus-4.7"

If the providers differ (OpenAI vs Anthropic), you'll also need to swap the SDK / endpoint URL. Cross-provider migrations usually take 30 minutes to a few hours depending on how many features (streaming, function calling, tool use) you depend on.

Calculate cost on your own prompt

The examples above use generic input/output ratios. For an exact comparison, paste your real prompt into the calculator — it counts tokens with the right tokenizer for each model and shows side-by-side cost.
