Anthropic Gives Claude 3.5 Sonnet a Mouse and Keyboard
Claude 3.5 Sonnet now uses the computer use API to move the cursor, click, type, and scroll on a real desktop. The model receives screenshots at 1280x800 resolution and outputs structured actions such as left_click[x=450,y=320] or type[text='invoice_2024']. Early tests show it completing multi-step spreadsheet edits and web form submissions without custom scripts.
