I wonder if this is like when a restaurant introduces a new menu to increase prices.

Is Opus 4.7 that significantly different in quality that it should use that much more in tokens?

I like Claude and Anthropic a lot, and hope it's just some weird quirk in their tokenizer or whatnot, just seems like something changed in the last few weeks and may be going in a less-value-for-money direction, with not much being said about it. But again, could just be some technical glitch.
