How are you handling the Claude Opus 4.7 migration?

Anthropic shipped Opus 4.7 last week and the agentic coding improvements look real. But the breaking changes are giving me pause.

Specifically:

  • temperature, top_p, top_k at non-default values now return 400

  • Extended thinking budgets removed (adaptive thinking replaces them)

  • Tokenizer changed, so same prompts can cost 1x-1.35x more tokens

For teams already running Opus 4.6 in production: are you migrating immediately, or testing first? The execution quality improvements on multi-step coding tasks seem significant, but the sampling parameter removal is a real migration task for anyone who tuned those values.

Also curious if anyone has measured the actual token count difference on their production prompts. Anthropic says 1x-1.35x but that is a wide range.

The task_budget feature for agent loops looks promising too. Anyone tried it yet?
