Computer Use

“Like, I, like, I'm so bullish on computer use. Like, I really, like, a lot of, and a lot of people might think it's, like, insane, or it doesn't work, or it breaks. Like, you'll be surprised how good, like, Astra is.”

“Now it's like become, it's, it literally has become part of the process of how we design. We use both of those tools to build software.”

“And then also out of that first incarnation came computer use. Computer use was different, though, because when we built it was really bad. Like we tried a bunch of products with it, and this was around, you know, Sonic three five and be like, Claude, can you …”

“And so one of the things, the newer things we were talking about earlier is we made a big bet and put a lot of investment on computer use. That is not seen publicly in the light of day. We haven't GA'd that yet.”

“You couldn't have built something like computer before November, December of last year, because model capabilities advance where you can have longer time horizons for running tasks, right? Where you're not just answering a question, but you're actually doing W…”

“I still believe for the most part it will, The majority will live with tool calling, right? And agents running in the background and so on, right? Because you also don't, you know, maybe want to have the browser open all the time. Okay, we can do this with hea…”

“And now this year is going to be the year of computer use. So it's almost like they're much more like humans using computers than them generating code”

“The biggest problem is that you bake a model, and that's where it's learned everything it needs to learn, and then you freeze it, and then you launch it, and then maybe you give it some context, but that's it. It's frozen. So therein lies the problem that, you…”

“And then there's some things like computer use that are still not quite there, but I think we'll almost definitely get there in the next year or two. And when you have that, I think we're gonna be able to automate a large portion of what people do.”

“Right now, the edge of what's possible is like computer use, in my opinion, is really at the frontier of what these models could do, and I think over the next three to six months, they're going to get a lot better, and it's going to enable an entire new market…”

“And I think honestly, through our safety research, we have a big opportunity to do things that no other company can safely do. So for example, with computer use, I think that's going to be our huge opportunity, basically like to make it possible for an agent t…”

“To really have agency and have these agentic use cases. Like one way you approach it is computer use, but computer use has a bunch of limitations. The way I get way more excited about everything is an MCP and our models are really good at using MCPs. All of a …”

“The cool thing about computer use is that we're just so, so early. It's like the GPT-II of computer use or maybe GPT-I of computer use right now.”

“Like we've seen the computer use demo from Anthropic. Probably in my opinion, not production ready yet”

“We're seeing it for a while, and I think it will stay like that despite the computer use, et cetera, that supposedly can just replace us, and it could, you can just, like, prompt it to be, hey, now be a QA, you know, or be a QA person or developer. I still thi…”

“I think most broadly, not just for like new things that weren't possible before, but as a much lower friction way to implement tool use.”

“I think there could be a separation between maybe like the high volume use cases you want APIs and then the long tail you want computer use.”

“Claude has created this new capability called computer use. I think that's the next area that AI agents are going to enter.”

“They're trying to make them use human interfaces like Anthropix computer use, but those are really expensive and you need to kind of process all those images and video.”

“When the Anthropic dropped the computer use sort of capability. You know, we slaughtered our roadmap because we don't really have an explicit roadmap. We like immediately jumped on it and started building things and we've launched some things around it. We're …”

“Some early things that we're seeing that we think are really interesting, one is UI testing, which is like, I was, like, at Instagram, we had basically no UI tests, because they're hard to write, they're, like, they're brittle and they're, like, often, like, a…”
