Date of the developer announcement or dated release record.
Anthropic released an upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet and opened computer use in public beta. Developers could let the model interpret screenshots, move a cursor, click and type, extending model actions beyond text responses and dedicated tool calls. Anthropic described computer use as experimental, cumbersome and error-prone. Anthropic ↗
