The new capability lets AI control PCs, move the cursor, click buttons, and type text.
Asana, Canva, and DoorDash are among the early testers for Computer Use.
Computer Use beta is available on Anthropic’s API, Amazon Bedrock, and Vertex AI.

The text-only model will be available later this month, with image input added later.
2. Stability AI releases Stable Diffusion 3.5 open weights models with quicker image generation
Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large with 8B parameters outperformed its open rivals in prompt adherence and surpassed most larger models (except FLUX 1) in image quality:
