Anthropic Acquires Vercept to Advance Claude Computer Use

Anthropic announced it has acquired Vercept to expand Claude’s “computer use” capabilities, enabling the model to execute increasingly complex multi-step tasks inside live applications. As part of the deal, Vercept will wind down its external product in the coming weeks (with one report citing a March 25 wind-down) and its team will join Anthropic to further develop these capabilities.
