In October, Anthropic released upgraded models including Claude 3.5 and introduced the innovative feature of computer use, positioning itself as a leader in the rapidly growing AI agent landscape.

The future of AI agents may involve them being able to access and interact with data traditionally reserved for humans, such as logging into websites or executing commands on servers.

Anthropic has shifted focus towards coding applications for Claude, moving away from its initial chatbot functionalities.

We're starting to see AI agents play a major role in web development, writing code, creating assets, and collaborating with humans, which multiplies what can be built.

Currently, over a third of usage on Claude.ai is for coding, highlighting the capabilities of AI systems in tasks that humans struggle with.

At Anthropic, while our models are intelligent, we must communicate how they can be useful and connect with users, not just highlight their intelligence. We need to design AI tools like Claude to be genuinely useful for people discovering large language models for the first time, providing them with concrete, practical applications in their daily lives.

The first cohort of AI's killer apps has emerged, including ChatGPT and others, indicating a significant shift in the market, while many new companies will adopt an agent-first approach, evolving from basic prototypes to robust agents capable of performing complex tasks.

Emerging technologies in AI, such as browser use technology, will allow AI agents to operate across diverse systems, enhancing their ability to gather information and perform tasks that previously required human intervention.

The emergence of AI agents allows models to autonomously retrieve information, run code, and perform multiple tasks without human intervention, leading to significant economic impacts.
