October 24, 2024: Claude AI Gains Code Execution Capability - Anthropics Claude chatbot can now write and run JavaScript code, enabling it to perform calculations and analyze data from spreadsheets and PDFs, rendering results as interactive visualizations. This new analysis tool, currently in preview, allows Claude to provide mathematically precise answers by processing data systematically. Potential applications include product managers analyzing sales data and engineers creating dashboards from financial data. Unlike before, where Claudes answers were less accurate, this tool enhances its analytical precision. Google and OpenAI offer similar features with their Gemini and flagship models, respectively. The tool is now available for all users on Claude.ai.
