30 day challenge : create software with AI

I like to do 30 day challenges to explore new areas, or to form habits. Some of my previous ones were

I am starting a new challenge today, to create software by leveraging AI. The recent boom in AI and GenAI specifically has made it very easy and quick to bring your ideas to fruition. It is time to start coding and developing software for ideas that have been swirling in my head for sometime.

I will be publishing them at https://kudithipudi.org/lab . I will expand and write up about some ideas and the experience in bringing them to life.

HOW TO : Run Anthropic Computer Use Tool on a Windows Machine

Anthropic released their new Claude Sonnet 3.5 model yesterday that has a new capability to control computers. Computer Use capability allows Claude to directly interact with computer interfaces, enabling tasks like web browsing, data analysis, and file manipulation – all through natural language instructions. Similar to tools, but now you don’t have to define specific tools. I think this opens up a whole new window of opportunities to leverage LLMs for.

Anthropic shared a quick start guide to run the model in a container, but the instructions are for Mac/Linux based workstations. I had to make some tweaks to run them on a windows workstation.

Documenting them for anyone that might be trying to do the same

  • Install Docker Desktop
  • Open a command prompt
  • Run the following command to set your anthropic api key system variable
    • set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=YOUR-ANTHROPIC-KEY
  • Run the following command to start the docker container
    • docker run -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=%ANTHROPIC_API_KEY% -v $HOME/.anthropic:/home/computeruse/.anthropic -p 5900:5900 -p 8501:8501 -p 6080:6080 -p 8080:8080 -it ghcr.io/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts:computer-use-demo-latest
