Claude Opus 4.7 Benchmark Performance
Claude Opus 4.7 now leads the Vals AI Finance Agent benchmark at 64.4% and tops the GDPval-AA evaluation for economically valuable knowledge work — benchmarks designed to resonate with financial buyers who prioritize domain expertise and accuracy.
Ten Pre-Built Financial Agents
The agents automate the workflows that consume the most analyst hours:
- Pitchbooks and earnings analysis
- Credit memos and underwriting
- KYC/AML compliance
- Month-end close and financial statement audits
- Insurance claims processing
Full Microsoft 365 Integration
Claude now connects directly with Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, with Outlook support coming soon. Financial models, notes, and presentation context carry across applications automatically.
Expanded Data Ecosystem
Beyond existing integrations with FactSet, PitchBook, Morningstar, MSCI, LSEG, and S&P Capital IQ, Anthropic added Dun & Bradstreet, Verisk, Guidepoint, Third Bridge, and IBISWorld.
