Building Towards Computer Use with Anthropic
In my last blog post, I wrote about how AI agents function. Essentially, they are groups of LLMs whose outputs become each other's inputs in a manner that enables the solution of tasks; individual LLMs can also serve as individual agents that utilize tools (such as computer apps or functions in code) to complete tasks. For example, AI agents can be used to perform tasks on computers that we would normally associate with developers or human workers such as writing code or working with software applications. DeepLearning.AI's recent short course on Building Towards Computer Use with Antrophic provides a window into those possibilities; I am using this blog post for taking notes. Introduction : Anthropic uses LLMs to initiate mouse-clicks and keystrokes in agentic workflows to accomplish computer tasks. Anthropic provides API for agents. Anthropic's models take 200,000 input tokens or 500 pages of text which enables long form prompts and memory-caching in prompts. Loosely, one...
