TODAY IN AI

1. Good things come in threes: For Anthropic, yesterday was a very good day indeed. The company introduced major updates to its AI models, including the enhanced Claude 3.5 Sonnet and the new Claude 3.5 Haiku. The most notable development is the launch of computer use. More on that below in this email.

2. IBM launches new Granite 3.0 family of AI models: featuring 8B and 2B parameter variants available under an open-source Apache 2.0 license. The company claims these smaller models can match larger competitors' performance (like Llama 3.1 8B) while offering significant cost savings and enhanced safety features through their Guardian models.

3. A new state of the art in open-source video generation models: Genmo, founded by two UC Berkeley alums, has announced Mochi 1. Their open-source video generation model was also released under an Apache 2.0 license and claims to deliver state-of-the-art motion quality and prompt adherence.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Anthropic's Latest AI Breakthrough: Computer Control Comes to Claude

Like we mentioned earlier in the newsletter, Anthropic’s been busy lately with not one, not two, but three major developments. This significant move reflects Anthropic's drive to develop AI agents capable of managing more complex workflows, positioning them in direct competition with similar initiatives from OpenAI, Salesforce, and Microsoft. Here’s more:

• Computer use enables AI agents to perform multiple tasks on computers like a human would — moving cursors, clicking buttons, and navigating software. This feature is currently accessible through Anthropic’s API and the company says it’s releasing it “early for feedback from developers” and expects “the capability to improve rapidly over time.”

• The upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet is also available now and boasts significant improvements in coding and tool usage, achieving a 49% score on SWE-bench Verified (up from 33.4%), surpassing other available models.

• The soon-to-be-released Claude 3.5 Haiku offers performance comparable to Claude 3 Opus but is still as fast and cheap as its predecessor.
