Fast mode for Claude Opus 4.7 is now available on [AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway) in research preview.

Fast mode delivers ~2.5x faster output token generation with full Opus 4.7 intelligence. This is an early, experimental feature.

To enable fast mode, pass `speed: 'fast'`

in the `anthropic`

provider options with `anthropic/claude-opus-4.7`

.

You can use fast mode with [Claude Code via AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/sdks-and-apis/anthropic-messages-api#configuring-claude-code) by setting the `CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_FAST_MODE_ORG_CHECK`

and `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_OPUS_4_7_FAST_MODE`

variables in your shell configuration file or in `~/.claude/settings.json`

.

Fast mode is priced at 6x standard Opus rates.

Standard | Fast Mode |
|---|---|
Input: $5 / 1M tokens Output: $25 / 1M tokens | Input: $30 / 1M tokens Output: $150 / 1M tokens |

All standard pricing multipliers (e.g., prompt caching) apply on top of these rates.
