Claude Gains Ability to Use Any Desktop Application

Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet enables AI to independently operate computers, advancing capabilities beyond current tech.

Details:

• The new "computer use" feature lets Claude interact with computers like humans—viewing screens, moving cursors, clicking buttons, and typing. It sets Claude apart from competitors like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google, which only provide screen analysis.

• Despite its potential, the system has limitations, struggling with complex actions and quick notifications. Anthropic describes it as "cumbersome and error-prone."

• The update boosts performance, with Claude 3.5 Sonnet excelling in coding (49.0% on SWE-bench) and tool use (69.2% in retail, 46.0% in airline), while matching its predecessor's price and speed.

As AI evolves, Anthropic takes a cautious approach, implementing safety measures to prevent misuse in sensitive areas like social media and elections.

Runway Launches AI Tool to Capture Facial Expressions

Runway, the Google-backed AI startup, has unveiled Act-One, allowing precise control over character expressions with simple video recordings.

Details:

• The new feature lets users capture facial expressions from any camera, including smartphones, and apply them to AI characters with high accuracy.

• Act-One simplifies facial animation by eliminating the need for motion capture and manual rigging, allowing creators to transfer performances to multiple characters using basic video input.

• This follows Runway's partnership with Lionsgate to create a custom AI video model using the studio's 20,000-title catalog.

Currently rolling out, it's available to users with Gen-3 Alpha model credits, supporting text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video creation.
