We break down Anthropic’s new xhigh effort level for Claude Code on Opus 4.7, why it now defaults for Max subscribers, and how the new slider and config flow make it easier to use.
The discussion also covers when deeper reasoning is worth the extra latency and cost, plus how to spot the tasks where xhigh really pays off.
