Pc use, a brand new frontier in AI interplay
As a substitute of limiting the mannequin to make use of APIs, Claude has been skilled on common laptop expertise, permitting it to make use of a variety of normal instruments and software program applications. On this method, purposes can use Claude to understand and work together with laptop interfaces. Software program builders can combine this API to allow Claude to translate prompts (for instance, “discover me a resort in Rome”) into particular laptop instructions (open a browser, navigate this web site, and so forth).
Extra particularly, when invoking the mannequin, software program builders now have entry to a few new built-in instruments that present a digital set of palms to function a pc:
- Pc software – This software can obtain as enter a screenshot and a purpose and returns an outline of the mouse and keyboard actions that needs to be carried out to realize that purpose. For instance, this software can ask to maneuver the cursor to a selected place, click on, kind, and take screenshots.

These instruments open up a world of potentialities for automating complicated duties, from information evaluation and software program testing to content material creation and system administration. Think about an software powered by Claude 3.5 Sonnet interacting with the pc simply as a human would, navigating by way of a number of desktop instruments together with terminals, textual content editors, web browsers, and likewise able to filling out varieties and even debugging code.
We’re excited to assist software program builders discover these new capabilities with Amazon Bedrock. We count on this functionality to enhance quickly within the coming months, and Claude’s present capability to make use of computer systems has limits. Some actions corresponding to scrolling, dragging, or zooming can current challenges for Claude, and we encourage you to begin exploring low-risk duties.
When OSWorld, a benchmark for multimodal brokers in actual laptop environments, the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet at present will get 14.9%. Whereas human-level ability is much forward with about 70-75%, this result’s significantly better than the 7.7% obtained by the next-best mannequin in the identical class.
Utilizing the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet within the Amazon Bedrock console
To get began with the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet, I navigate to the Amazon Bedrock console and select Mannequin entry within the navigation pane. There, I request entry for the brand new Claude 3.5 Sonnet V2 mannequin.
To check the brand new imaginative and prescient functionality, I open one other browser tab and obtain from the Our World in Information web site the Wind energy technology chart in PNG format.
Again within the Amazon Bedrock console, I select Chat/textual content beneath Playgrounds within the navigation pane. For the mannequin, I choose Anthropic because the mannequin supplier after which Claude 3.5 Sonnet V2.
I take advantage of the three vertical dots within the enter part of the chat to add the picture file from my laptop. Then I enter this immediate:
That are the highest international locations for wind energy technology? Reply solely in JSON.
The outcome follows my directions and returns the record extracting the data from the picture.
Utilizing the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet with AWS CLI and SDKs
Right here’s a pattern AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) command utilizing the Amazon Bedrock Converse API. I take advantage of the --query parameter of the CLI to filter the outcome and solely present the textual content content material of the output message:
In output, I get this textual content within the response.
An anchor! You throw an anchor out if you wish to use it to cease a ship, however you are taking it in (pull it up) when you do not wish to use it and wish to transfer the boat.
The AWS SDKs implement an identical interface. For instance, you should use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to investigate the identical picture as within the console instance:
import boto3
MODEL_ID = "anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0"
IMAGE_NAME = "wind-generation.png"
bedrock_runtime = boto3.shopper("bedrock-runtime")
with open(IMAGE_NAME, "rb") as f:
picture = f.learn()
user_message = "That are the highest international locations for wind energy technology? Reply solely in JSON."
messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"image": {"format": "png", "source": {"bytes": image}}},
{"text": user_message},
],
}
]
response = bedrock_runtime.converse(
modelId=MODEL_ID,
messages=messages,
)
response_text = response["output"]["message"]["content"][0]["text"]
print(response_text)
Integrating laptop use along with your software
Let’s see how laptop use works in observe. First, I take a snapshot of the desktop of a Ubuntu system:
This screenshot is the place to begin for the steps that will likely be applied by laptop use. To see how that works, I run a Python script passing in enter to the mannequin the screenshot picture and this immediate:
Discover me a resort in Rome.
This script invokes the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Amazon Bedrock utilizing the brand new syntax required for laptop use:
import base64
import json
import boto3
MODEL_ID = "anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0"
IMAGE_NAME = "ubuntu-screenshot.png"
bedrock_runtime = boto3.shopper(
"bedrock-runtime",
region_name="us-east-1",
)
with open(IMAGE_NAME, "rb") as f:
picture = f.learn()
image_base64 = base64.b64encode(picture).decode("utf-8")
immediate = "Discover me a resort in Rome."
physique = {
"anthropic_version": "bedrock-2023-05-31",
"max_tokens": 512,
"temperature": 0.5,
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": prompt},
{
"type": "image",
"source": {
"type": "base64",
"media_type": "image/jpeg",
"data": image_base64,
},
},
],
}
],
"instruments": [
{ # new
"type": "computer_20241022", # literal / constant
"name": "computer", # literal / constant
"display_height_px": 1280, # min=1, no max
"display_width_px": 800, # min=1, no max
"display_number": 0 # min=0, max=N, default=None
},
{ # new
"type": "bash_20241022", # literal / constant
"name": "bash", # literal / constant
},
{ # new
"type": "text_editor_20241022", # literal / constant
"name": "str_replace_editor", # literal / constant
}
],
"anthropic_beta": ["computer-use-2024-10-22"],
}
# Convert the native request to JSON.
request = json.dumps(physique)
attempt:
# Invoke the mannequin with the request.
response = bedrock_runtime.invoke_model(modelId=MODEL_ID, physique=request)
besides Exception as e:
print(f"ERROR: {e}")
exit(1)
# Decode the response physique.
model_response = json.hundreds(response["body"].learn())
print(model_response)
The physique of the request consists of new choices:
anthropic_betawith worth["computer-use-2024-10-22"]to allow laptop use.- The
instrumentspart helps a brand newkindpossibility (set tocustomizedfor the instruments you configure). - Observe that the pc software must know the decision of the display (
display_height_pxanddisplay_width_px).
To observe my directions with laptop use, the mannequin supplies actions that function on the desktop described by the enter screenshot.
The response from the mannequin features a tool_use part from the laptop software that gives step one. The mannequin has discovered within the screenshot the Firefox browser icon and the place of the mouse arrow. Due to that, it now asks to maneuver the mouse to particular coordinates to begin the browser.
{
"id": "msg_bdrk_01WjPCKnd2LCvVeiV6wJ4mm3",
"kind": "message",
"position": "assistant",
"mannequin": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
"content material": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "I'll help you search for a hotel in Rome. I see Firefox browser on the desktop, so I'll use that to access a travel website.",
},
{
"type": "tool_use",
"id": "toolu_bdrk_01CgfQ2bmQsPFMaqxXtYuyiJ",
"name": "computer",
"input": {"action": "mouse_move", "coordinate": [35, 65]},
},
],
"stop_reason": "tool_use",
"stop_sequence": None,
"utilization": {"input_tokens": 3443, "output_tokens": 106},
}
That is simply step one. As with ordinary software use requests, the script ought to reply with the results of utilizing the software (shifting the mouse on this case). Primarily based on the preliminary request to e book a resort, there could be a loop of software use interactions that may ask to click on on the icon, kind a URL within the browser, and so forth till the resort has been booked.
A extra full instance is out there on this repository shared by Anthropic.
