The claude-opus-4-7-think model has adaptive thinking mode pre-enabled; the default thinking intensity is "medium", and it can be invoked directly via the OpenAI unified API. The claude-opus-4-7 model does not display thinking content by default; you need to set the extra parameter "display": "summarized" to enable it.
