The tool that asks "Ask which of your computers to use for this chat?" has been split. A tool is an action Claude can take. One shared builder now makes two tools, Browser and Computer use, and each one has its own switch:
- Browser asks first only when its own remote switch is on. That switch used to control the single combined tool.
- Computer use asks first only when a second, separate switch is on.
- Computer use is loaded in full from the start only when a third switch is on. Otherwise it is held back and loaded only when needed.
- Both tools still need an overall remote switch, or a connected host, before they are available.
All four switches are off unless they are switched on remotely. A fifth switch, which falls back to on, lets a tool accept a follow-up call after an earlier call has returned its result.
The flag server returned the Browser switch, the load-in-full switch and the overall switch off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline. No reading has been taken under this release yet.
Browser and Computer use are being rolled out in stages. Settings on Anthropic's servers decide who gets each tool and whether it asks before acting.
