Reddit users spotted it first—Claude had suddenly gotten sharper, more capable. Now we know why: Anthropic has rolled out significant upgrades to its AI models, including an enhanced Claude 3.5 Sonnet and a much needed upgrade to its lightweight Haiku model.

Eeriest update of all: These AIs can now physically control computers, moving cursors, scrolling through pages and even clicking buttons just like humans do.

In a video demonstration, Sam Ringer, an Anthropic researcher, showed how Claude was capable of filling out a form in an external website by scrolling through a spreadsheet, searching for a company’s information after analyzing its CRM and then understanding—and filling in—the fields in a form.

“Available today on the API, developers can direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the first frontier AI model to offer computer use,” Anthropic said in an official announcement earlier today. “We’re releasing computer use early for feedback from developers, and expect the capability to improve rapidly over time.”
