Anthropic’s new AI model can control your PC
Anthropic has released an updated version of its Claude 3.5 Sonnet model with a new Computer Use feature that can interact with apps on a PC.
In a pitch to investors last spring, Anthropic said it intended to build AI to power virtual assistants that could perform research, answer emails, and handle other back-office jobs on their own. 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. A recent study found that models without the ability to use desktop apps, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o, were willing to engage in harmful “multi-step agent behavior,” such as ordering a fake passport from someone on the dark web, when “attacked” using jailbreaking techniques.
