Anthropic unveils its Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and a new model, Claude 3.5 Haiku. One strikeout for the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model is it does not speak human until it introduces a groundbreaking feature that lets it talk to computers.
What Happened: Although it’s still experimental and limited in tasks such as scrolling and dragging, Anthropic anticipates rapid improvement. With companies like Asana, Canva, and Replit experimenting with these features, this upgrade enables developers to automate processes and work on open-ended tasks.
“Currently, this feature is in public beta on the API and can instruct Claude to move a cursor and type text,” Anthropic wrote.
The Claude 3.5 Sonnet model is available for any use, and the Claude 3.5 Haiku is scheduled for release this month. The API of Anthropic enables Claude to learn what computer instructions mean, allowing him to accomplish complex tasks. Claude 3.5 Sonnet scored 14.9% in the screenshot-only category on OSWorld and beat other AI systems.

Anthropic is backed by Google parent Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: Jeff Bezos’ Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN), and GOOGL (NASDAQ: GOOG).
Why It Matters: As worries about AI’s impact on employment rise, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is released. A Silicon Valley billionaire has predicted that most human jobs, including doctor and assembly line roles, will be taken over by AI within 25 years. This has also led to discussions of whether Universal Basic Income (UBI) might be a solution.
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, cautions, however, that UBI may not solve the inequality that AI might then even more drastically entail. He asks for a more holistic approach to ensure it is set in a society where every member can add economic value. Amodei co-founded Anthropic in 2021.
