Cursor launches Computer Use: agents can control your computer and drive desktop apps like the iOS Simulator to test what they build
On 2026-10-23 (15:59 UTC) the official Cursor account @cursor_ai announced "Cursor can now control your computer": agents can drive desktop apps such as the iOS Simulator to test the features they build. A follow-up post says Computer Use lets agents click and type across any app on your computer, not just the browser. Cursor turns it on by itself when a task needs it, and you can also request it by @-mentioning Computer Use in your prompt; updating Cursor is enough to try it. A community changelog in September mentioned Computer Use on Mac in version 3.20.21, and this is the official launch. Supported platforms, the permission model and benchmarks were not published.

On Oct 7 Anthropic shipped Claude Haiku 5.5 (claude-haiku-5-5), completing the Claude 5.5 family. It targets high-volume, cost-sensitive work such as summaries, compaction, classification and coding subagents, and Anthropic calls it its fastest model at standard speed. Prompts up to 100K cost $0.10 input / $0.50 output per million tokens, and it is the first Haiku with effort levels. It scores 72.4% on the OSWorld 2.1 offline subset (Haiku 4.5: 15.7%) and 39.2% on Terminal-Bench 4.0. Sonnet 5.5 cache reads were cut 50% the same day, and Max/Team plans get monthly API credits.
