Use Anthropic Messages-style requests for Claude-series models whenever possible.
Suitable for architecture review, debugging, multi-file reasoning, and planning.
Use native streaming behavior for responsive apps, agents, and Claude-compatible clients.
Route model usage through Crazyrouter for billing visibility and model switching.
Claude Opus 4.7 API quickstart
Use the native Anthropic Messages API first. If your application is already built on OpenAI-compatible chat completions, use the compatibility endpoint as a migration fallback.

}'Best use cases
Works with developer tools
Claude Code
Best fit for native Claude workflows that expect Anthropic-compatible request behavior.
Codex CLI
Use OpenAI-compatible fallback only when the client does not support native Claude endpoints.
Cursor and Cline
Prefer native Claude configuration where available; otherwise use OpenAI-compatible routing.
LangChain and custom agents
Choose native Anthropic chat models for Claude behavior, or OpenAI-compatible wrappers for mixed-model apps.
Claude Opus 4.7 FAQ
Should I use native Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible access?
For Claude-series models, use native Anthropic Messages API first. OpenAI-compatible access is useful for migration or clients that only support chat completions.
What base URL should I use?
Use https://crazyrouter.com/v1. Native Claude requests go to /v1/messages; OpenAI-compatible requests go to /v1/chat/completions.
Does it support streaming?
Use stream: true with the native Messages endpoint. Route-level support can vary, so verify in your own environment before production rollout.
Can I use it with coding tools?
Yes, when the tool supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints or proxy configuration. Cursor, Cline, Codex-style clients, and agent frameworks are common use cases.
How should I compare it with Sonnet or GPT models?
Use Opus for the hardest reasoning and coding tasks. Use Sonnet, GPT, Gemini, or DeepSeek alternatives when you need lower cost, higher speed, or different tool compatibility.
