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` and `computer_20250124` tool versions. 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). 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.
28 - On the Claude API and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed), 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` and `computer_20250124` tool versions. 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).

2929 - On Amazon Bedrock, Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Claude Haiku 5.5 accept the earlier `computer_20251124` tool version as Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 do.
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).
31 - 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).
31 - On Claude Platform on AWS, Amazon Bedrock, and Microsoft Foundry, computer use is available only through the [earlier beta tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions).

4242For tasks that stay inside webpages, the [browser use tool](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/browser-use-tool) is the closer fit: its member tools read and act on the page itself, and it doesn't need a full desktop environment.

45 Computer use is available on the Claude API and [Google Cloud](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-vertex-ai) as the `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset; see [Compatibility](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#compatibility) for the supported models.
45 Computer use is available on the Claude API and [Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-models-on-google-cloud/google-managed) as the `computer_toolset_20260801` toolset; see [Compatibility](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#compatibility) for the supported models.

4747 Existing `computer_20251124` integrations keep working on the models listed for it under [Earlier tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions), and earlier tool versions remain available in beta for models and platforms that don't support the toolset. See [Migrate from `computer_20251124`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#migrate-from-computer-20251124) to upgrade, or [Earlier tool versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/computer-use-tool#earlier-tool-versions) for the beta headers.

2108Upgrading 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, Claude Sonnet 5.5, and Claude Haiku 5.5 accept `computer_20251124`. To upgrade, make the following changes together:

211021101. **Remove the beta header.** Drop `anthropic-beta: computer-use-2025-11-24` from your requests. With the SDK, remove `betas` (csharp, go: `Betas`; java: `.addBeta()`) and call the Messages API through the standard client rather than the beta namespace.
211121112. **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.

21662166Two earlier versions of the computer use tool remain available in beta for existing integrations, for models that don't support the toolset, and on platforms where the toolset isn't currently available. Each requires its [beta header](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta-headers) on every request, and their parameters are documented in the [beta Messages API reference](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/messages/create). With the SDK, pass the header through `betas` (csharp, go: `Betas`; java: `.addBeta()`) and use the beta namespace; only the computer use tool needs the header, not the bash or text editor tools in the same request.
