Anthropic acquires Vercept to boost Claude's computer use capabilities

Anthropic has acquired Vercept, a startup focused on AI perception and interaction for complex tasks. The Vercept team, including co-founders Kiana Ehsani, Luca Weihs, and Ross Girshick, will join Anthropic to advance Claude's computer use abilities. Vercept's external product will wind down in the coming weeks. This follows the launch of Claude Sonnet 4.6, which achieved 72.5% on OSWorld, up from under 15% in late 2024, approaching human-level performance on tasks like navigating spreadsheets and web forms.
