## AI overview

Vercel announces Fast mode for Claude Opus 4.7 on AI Gateway in research preview. The experimental mode is described as providing approximately 2.5x faster output-token generation while retaining full Opus 4.7 intelligence, and it can also be used with Claude Code through configuration settings.

## Source excerpt

Fast mode for Claude Opus 4.7 is now available on 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 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.
