The computer use tool is out of beta on the Claude API as the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset: no beta header, batch actions (several actions in one turn), zoom enabled by default, and per-member configuration through configs. Earlier beta versions remain available. Upgrading an existing integration changes the request shape and tool handling; see Migrate from computer_20251124. We've launched the browser use tool (browser_toolset_20260801), a client toolset for driving a browser that your application hosts. It works inside a browser viewport rather than a whole desktop, reading the page itself (its accessibility tree, elements, forms, and tabs) and adding element references, form input, tab management, download reporting, and opt-in file upload on top of screenshot-and-click control. Both toolsets are available for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8 on the Claude API. The Files API is out of beta on the Claude API. Requests to the /v1/files endpoints, and Messages API requests that reference an uploaded file, no longer require the files-api-2025-04-14 beta header. Requests sent without the header use the current response format:
