Claude Opus 4.7 on AIME 2026: 90.0% accuracy

The LayerLens Team covers AI model evaluations, benchmark analysis, and the evolving landscape of AI performance. For the latest independent evaluation data, explore $LayerLens/$.

Summary

Claude Opus 4.7 from Anthropic scored 90.0 on AIME 2026, placing it top 10 (rank 6 of 13) on this benchmark. This places the model in the saturated band for AIME 2026. Most frontier models cluster near this ceiling, so $cross-benchmark behavior/$ matters more than the headline score for $production decisions/$.

Model details

  • Provider: Anthropic

  • Context length: 1,000,000 tokens
  • License: Proprietary
  • Open weights: no

Benchmark methodology

Benchmark goal: The benchmark is designed to evaluate single-shot mathematical problem-solving capabilities of LLMs across various advanced mathematical topics including algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.

Scoring metrics:

  • Accuracy: Accuracy = (Number of Problems with Exact Three-Digit Integer Answers / Total Problems) * 100

Analysis

Key takeaways:

  • The model achieved a high accuracy of 93.33% on advanced mathematical problems.
  • It demonstrated robust mathematical reasoning, correctly solving complex problems in algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.
  • The primary failure mode observed was in highly intricate enumeration and recursive counting problems, particularly when precise handling of complex definitions and substructure interactions was required.
  • Despite high accuracy, certain combinatorial problems involving multi-level recursive definitions and subtle constraints remain challenging.

Failure modes observed

Common failure modes:

  • Misinterpretation of non-overlapping conditions in tiling problems, specifically regarding the "cell loop" definition and its implications for recursion.
  • Overlooking specific constraints for prime factorization, as seen in the 'number of ways to partition a 10x10 grid' question, leading to incorrect enumeration of sub-problem solutions.
  • Minor calculation errors in multi-step problems, such as a miscalculation in the number of possible values for 'h' in the geometry problem, leading to off-by-one errors.

Example: In the question to 'Find the number of ways to partition a 10x10 grid of cells into 5 cell loops...', the model struggled with the recursive definition of 'H(a,b)' which led to an incorrect value calculation for the number of ways.

Secondary metrics

  • Readability score: 0.0
  • Toxicity score: 0.000
  • Ethics score: 0.000
