Claude Opus 4.7 + Claude Code are comprehensively upgraded. How can domestic users use them most wor

Anthropic has come up with a new trick again!

Have you all tested the newly released version 4.7 of Claude Opus? Opinions on it are mixed. Today, I'll give you a comprehensive overview, from the model itself to the Claude Code upgrade, and discuss the most convenient way for domestic users to use it.

In conclusion: my abilities have indeed improved, but there are also some pitfalls I need to be aware of beforehand.

In my test, I tried installing Claude Code on my computer and calling Claude Opus 4.7 directly through the Nebula API.

After submitting the request, the platform responded very quickly, almost instantly, and immediately provided detailed operating steps.

Deploying Claude Code requires calling the API, which you can obtain from the official Claude website or call directly from the Nebula API. The process is very convenient.

Simply create a key within the platform with one click, fill in the corresponding BASE URL and key, and you can seamlessly access various mainstream large models from home and abroad.

There are some minor issues with using the Claude Opus 4.7 model: for the same question, it initially recognizes the image from the previous dialogue, but only gives the correct answer on the second attempt.

It seems that there is still a slight "brain drain" in multi-turn context understanding, which is one of the reasons why many people feel that version 4.7 is not as user-friendly as version 4.6.

There's a hidden change in pricing that you should be aware of: On the surface, the unit price hasn't changed; a million tokens input is $5 and output is $25, the same as $4.6.

However, Anthropic quietly changed its tokenization method, resulting in 1.0 to 1.35 times more tokens from the same text.Your handwriting remained the same, but you spent 10% to 35% more money.

Anthropic's official explanation is that "the model is more accurate and doesn't need to be modified back and forth, so the total cost may not have increased that much"—this logic is irrefutable, but it still feels like we've been taken advantage of.

Along with the Opus 4.7 update, Anthropic's newly announced Claude Code Routines feature also caused a sensation online, with programmers across the internet collectively reacting with disbelief upon its release.

Everyone in the comments section is asking the same question: Should I continue writing code in the future?

What exactly are Routines?

In other words, Routines are automated tasks stored in the Anthropic cloud that can run even when your computer is turned off.

Previously, when you used Claude Code, you had to manually type commands to make the AI ​​work, and the task would stop once you left or the computer went to sleep.

Claude Code now features a persistent, automated running mode; you simply need to set the trigger conditions:

1️⃣ Automatically triggered when a new PR is submitted on GitHub

2️⃣ Runs daily at 2 AM

3️⃣ Automatic intervention when CI pipeline reports an error

The AI ​​will autonomously execute the entire process: pull code → parse diff → run tests → write review comments → submit fixes.

You can think of it as a "crayfish" with a higher safety rating.

The core keyword of this upgrade is "autonomous and independent operation," which means that no one needs to stand in front of the screen and manually click to continue. This represents a complete shift in the development paradigm.

In the past, AI was a question-and-answer search box; you gave a command, it replied, and you responded.

Claude has now become a full-time colleague with its own work schedule: it stays online when you leave work and continues to run when you take a vacation.

Three practical scenarios that you can get started with immediately

• Automation of daily tasksIt aggregates company group messages, inspects GitHub Issues, sets daily trigger times, and automatically pushes results after the AI ​​finishes its run.

  
  

• Developer Troubleshooting AutomationCI error log analysis is now handled automatically by Routines. Vulnerabilities that would normally take more than ten hours to locate can be resolved autonomously by AI overnight.

  
  

• Reducing the burden on independent developersRoutines integrates with customer email channels, automatically categorizing, replying to, and archiving drafts, allowing one person to handle half of the customer service team.

This is no longer the old joke about "AI replacing programmers"—this is the first time that AI has a complete scheduling and operation mechanism, with intelligent capabilities, safe operation, and no additional token consumption. As long as the subscription package is available, it can continue to run.

In the future, if you don't master Routines, you'll soon find yourself in a situation where others are using AI-automated tools to manage their work, while you're still manually performing repetitive tasks.

However, one point to note is that...Routines are a web-only feature and are currently unavailable on the terminal.This brings up another issue: Anthropic's mandatory real-name registration some time ago.

Anthropic also suddenly updated its authentication mechanism, prompting a mandatory verification page when logging in, and some people even had their accounts banned.

The current situation is:

❌ "Three-no" accounts (overseas virtual accounts + low-quality VPNs) are being cleaned up in batches.

❌ Those who previously managed to evade detection using fingerprint browsers may find themselves in the same predicament this time.

Specific risk control upgrades include

• Force ID verificationSome high-risk accounts will be required to upload government-issued identification documents and a live selfie.

  
  

• Risk control model upgradeThe system offers more precise IP monitoring for regions not supported by China; once an IP address from mainland China or Hong Kong is detected, it will be blocked instantly.

  
  

• Associated risksMultiple accounts linked to a single card number or device may be subject to "joint liability."

If you are using your Anthropic account directly, it is recommended that you immediately export any useful memory records and avoid frequently switching your VPN address for the time being.

Seeing this, you might think, "Oh no, I can't use Routines anymore."

Don't worry, I have a solution. Although there's no "Routines" feature, the CLI version can still automate your workflow.

Option 1: Cron scheduled tasks (built into macOS)

Make Claude Code run automatically once a day

Option 2: Headless Mode (Script Invocation)

Claude Code supports a non-interactive mode, allowing you to write scripts.

The -p parameter = print mode, outputs the results all at once without interactive mode, suitable for automation.

Option 3: Slash Commands

Save frequently used tasks and execute them with one click.

Overall, it becomes clear that the biggest pain points for domestic users of Claude are: account banning risk, real-name authentication, network restrictions, and rapid depletion of credit limits, each of which is a headache.

These problems are bypassed by calling the Nebula API.

• Fast call responseIn actual testing, calling Claude Opus 4.7 resulted in a near-second response time, eliminating concerns about network latency.

  
  

• Zero learning curveSimply create a key on the platform and enter the BASE URL and key; a single line of configuration provides direct access to major domestic and international models.

  
  

• No real-name authentication requiredThis does not involve the official Anthropic account, eliminating account ban anxiety and the risk of uploading your ID card.

Whether you want to experience the latest capabilities of Claude Opus 4.7 or build an automated pipeline for Claude Code Routines, the Nebula API is currently the most convenient entry point for users in China.
