AI software company Anthropic
TechCrunch ^ | 10/22/2024 | Kyle Wiggers

Anthropic on Tuesday released an upgraded version of its Claude 3.5 Sonnet model that can understand and interact with any desktop app. Via a new “Computer Use” API, now in open beta, the model can imitate keystrokes, button clicks, and mouse gestures, essentially emulating a person sitting at a PC.

“We trained Claude to see what’s happening on a screen and then use the software tools available to carry out tasks,” Anthropic wrote in a blog post shared with TechCrunch. “When a developer tasks Claude with using a piece of computer software and gives it the necessary access, Claude looks at screenshots of what’s visible to the user, then counts how many pixels vertically or horizontally it needs to move a cursor in order to click in the correct place.”

Dumb Question: If the AI is in the computer, why doesn’t it just instruct the programs what to do instead of going through the computer/human interface?

Mea Maxima Culpa......

Correct title should be: “Anthropic’s new AI model can control your PC”

For the purposes of deception?

Oh, great. Claude can now replace teenage boys if only head of households can get a tax deduction for having Claude on board.

I must admit I’ve been using ChatGP and I like it.

One can ask anything and get the direct answer, versus a web search, where one has to wade through a hundred web replies.
(more STEM-like questions, not political).
