{Tech: Berlin} Findings of The Week

šŸ”„ Anthropic Upgrades Claude Models & Introduces Computer Use Beta

This is huge news for anyone building AI-powered tools! Imagine having an AI that can actually use your computer like a human would - clicking around, filling forms, and navigating interfaces. That's exactly what Anthropic just unveiled with their latest Claude update.
