Claude 4.8 Opus
Claude 4.8 Opus is a text generation model from Anthropic with a 1,000,000-token context window and native tool use.
AnthropicLarge context reasoning with tool and MCP support
Claude 4.8 Opus is a large language model developed by Anthropic, released in May 2026. It supports a context window of up to one million tokens and can generate responses of up to 128,000 tokens, making it suited for tasks that require processing or producing large volumes of text in a single session. The model accepts text and image inputs and is designed for use cases that involve extended reasoning, tool use, and integration with external systems via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Claude 4.8 Opus is positioned as Anthropic's flagship offering in the Claude 4 family, intended for complex, multi-step tasks where reasoning depth and large context handling are priorities. It supports configurable reasoning effort levels and native tool-calling, allowing developers to connect it to external APIs, data sources, and MCP servers. These characteristics make it well-suited for agentic workflows, document analysis across long corpora, and applications that require structured interaction with external tools.
What Claude 4.8 Opus supports
Large Context Window
Processes up to 1,000,000 tokens in a single context, enabling analysis of entire codebases, lengthy documents, or extended conversation histories without truncation.
Extended Reasoning
Supports configurable reasoning modes with adjustable effort levels, allowing the model to spend more compute on complex multi-step problems before producing a response.
Tool Use
Natively supports function calling and tool definitions, letting developers connect the model to external APIs, databases, or custom functions during inference.
MCP Integration
Supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling structured connections to MCP servers for retrieving external context or triggering actions in integrated systems.
Vision / Image Input
Accepts image inputs alongside text, allowing the model to analyze, describe, or reason about visual content within the same prompt.
Long Response Generation
Can generate responses of up to 128,000 tokens in a single output, suitable for producing detailed reports, long-form code, or comprehensive document drafts.

Documentation & links
Parameters & options
When enabled, the model will explain its thought process step-by-step before providing a final answer. This can help users understand how the model arrived at its conclusions, but may result in longer responses. Opus 4.7 uses adaptive thinking mode. The model dynamically decides when and how much to think.
Controls how much the model thinks vs. how quickly it responds. Higher effort produces better quality but uses more tokens and is slower. Recommended: High or Extra High for coding and agentic work; Medium for general use; Low for short, latency-sensitive tasks. Only applies when Reasoning is enabled.
