Anthropic to launch Claude Opus 4.7 and AI design tool this week, valued at up to $800B

Anthropic is preparing to release Claude Opus 4.7 and an AI-powered design tool for websites and presentations as early as this week, according to The Information. The announcement comes as venture capitalists offer valuations up to $800 billion, more than double the $380 billion valuation from February 2026.

Claude Opus 4.7 and design tool details

Claude Opus 4.7 will be Anthropic's next flagship model, though not its most powerful. That distinction belongs to Claude Mythos, currently in testing with select partners for security vulnerability research.

The new design tool will allow both technical and non-technical users to create presentations, websites, and landing pages using natural language prompts. This positions Anthropic in direct competition with Adobe, Figma, and Wix, as well as startups like Gamma and Google Stitch.

Shares of Adobe, Wix, and Figma each dropped more than 2% after news of the design tool became public, according to The Information.

Valuation surge driven by revenue growth

Venture capitalists have submitted multiple investment offers valuing Anthropic at up to $800 billion in recent weeks, Business Insider reports. On secondary market platform Caplight, Anthropic shares are trading at $688 billion, a 75% increase in three months. For comparison, OpenAI's most recent valuation stands at $852 billion.

Anthropic claims its annualized revenue has jumped to $30 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025. The company reports that more than 1,000 enterprise customers now spend over $1 million annually, a figure that doubled in under two months.

Enterprise pricing overhaul

Anthropic has replaced its Claude Enterprise flat-rate pricing model with usage-based billing. Previously, business customers paid up to $200 per user per month. Under the new structure, they pay a $20 base fee plus variable compute charges.

For heavy users, costs could double or triple under the new pricing, according to The Information. Anthropic attributes the change to surging demand from AI agents like Claude Code and Claude Cowork, which drive up inference costs amid limited compute availability.

What this means

Anthropic's rapid revenue growth and soaring valuation reflect intensifying competition in the AI foundation model market. The shift to usage-based enterprise pricing signals that compute costs are becoming the critical constraint for AI companies, even as demand accelerates. The design tool launch represents Anthropic's first major move beyond pure language models into creative applications, directly challenging established software incumbents in a market Adobe and Figma currently dominate.
