2727 details:
28 - On the Claude API and Google Cloud, Claude 5.5 and later models support computer use only through the `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset and return an error for the earlier `computer_20251124` tool version. To move an existing integration, see [Migrate from `computer_20251124`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#migrate-from-computer-20251124).
29 - On Amazon Bedrock, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 accept the earlier `computer_20251124` tool version as Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 do.

To move from `computer_20250124`, see [Move computer use to the toolset](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/models/haiku-5-5/migration-guide#computer-use-toolset) in the Claude Haiku 5.5 migration guide.

3030 - Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Claude Opus 4.5 support computer use only through the earlier `computer_20251124` tool version, which requires a beta header; see [Earlier tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions).
3131 - Platforms other than the Claude API and Google Cloud currently offer only the [earlier beta tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions).

2122Upgrading from `computer_20251124` to the toolset is optional: the models listed for `computer_20251124` under [Earlier tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions) keep accepting it with its beta header, so an existing integration keeps working until you change it. Claude 5.5 and later models are the exception on the Claude API and Google Cloud: there they accept only the toolset. Upgrade an integration before you move it to one of them. On Amazon Bedrock, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 keep accepting `computer_20251124`. To upgrade, make the following changes together:

212421241. **Remove the beta header.** Drop `anthropic-beta: computer-use-2025-11-24` from your requests. With the SDK, remove `betas` (python, typescript, php, ruby; csharp, go: `Betas`; java: `.addBeta()`) and call the Messages API through the standard client rather than the beta namespace.
212521252. **Change the `tools` entry.** Set `type` to `computer_toolset_20260801` and delete `name`, `display_width_px`, `display_height_px`, `display_number`, and `enable_zoom`. The toolset rejects each of these fields.

2212**Toolset definition overhead:** Declaring `computer_toolset_20260801` with its default members adds about 4,500 input tokens to a request (about 4,520 on Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, and Claude Opus 4.8, and about 4,590 on Claude Sonnet 5), which covers the member tool definitions and the tool use system prompt. Disabling `zoom` with `configs` removes about 410 of those tokens. The exact count for a request is reported in the response `usage`, and you can estimate it in advance with the [token counting endpoint](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/token-counting).
