AWS and Anthropic ink deal to accelerate model development, enhance AI chips – Computerworld

Notably, last month Anthropic introduced “Computer Use” to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This capability allows the model to use computers as people do; it can quickly move cursors, toggle between tabs, navigate websites, click buttons, type, and compile research documents in addition to its generative capabilities. All told, the company claims that Sonnet outperforms all other available models on agentic coding tasks.

Claude has experienced rapid adoption since its addition to Amazon Bedrock, AWS’ fully-managed service for building generative AI models, in April 2023, and now supports “tens of thousands” of companies across numerous industries, according to AWS. The foundation models are used to build a number of functions, including chatbots, coding assistants, and complex business processes.

“This has been a year of breakout growth for Claude, and our collaboration with Amazon has been instrumental in bringing Claude’s capabilities to millions of end users on Amazon Bedrock,” Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, said in an announcement.
