Claude Opus 4.7 vs Gemini 2.5 Pro
Claude Opus 4.7 and Gemini 2.5 Pro are the two flagship models in 2026 with 1 million token context windows. They reach long context very differently. Anthropic prices at $15 input / $75 output per 1M tokens for the headline frontier-class scores. Google prices at $1.25 input / $10 output, accepting a benchmark gap in exchange for an order of magnitude lower per-token cost. The 1M context is the same; the rest of the tradeoff is where you spend.
