Anthropic gives Claude 3.5 Sonnet the ability to move your mouse and type
Claude 3.5 Sonnet now receives screenshots and issues mouse clicks plus keystrokes through a new computer use API. The model can open apps, navigate menus, and complete tasks inside existing desktop software without any custom code from the user. Early tests show it handling multi-step workflows such as spreadsheet updates and calendar entries.
⚡ Step 1: Open claude.ai and select the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. Step 2: Type a desktop task such...
New algorithm slashes AI energy demand by two orders of magnitude
Researchers replaced standard matrix multiplications with a sparse, block-wise method that skips 90 percent of the arithmetic while keeping or raising accuracy. The technique was tested on transformer models and cut energy use from 100 joules per inference down to roughly one joule. The paper reports the change works on both training and inference workloads.
⚡ Step 1: Clone the repository at https://github.com/mit-han-lab/sparse-gemm. Step 2: Replace the...
ScanSkinAI Mole Mapping Tool
ScanSkinAI uses computer vision models to analyze uploaded photos for mole irregularities. The platform compares images against dermatology datasets and assigns risk scores. Users can schedule virtual follow ups and store longitudinal records in the same dashboard.
⚡ Step 1: Open scanskinai.com/ai-skin-longevity-checker and upload a clear photo of the mole. Step...
RoC AI Skin Insight Selfie Analyzer
RoC AI Skin Insight processes a single selfie through convolutional neural networks to estimate biological skin age and generate sub-scores for wrinkles, firmness, and tone. The model overlays numeric metrics directly on facial regions in the returned image.
