Cline (ClaudeDev) UPDATE: BEST AI Coding Agent Can Control Your Computer + Automate Code!

Introduction

Klein, also known as Claw, continues to impress with recent updates to its framework. Just four days ago, Klein released a significant upgrade by integrating the advanced CLAE 3.5 Sonet model, which has been recognized as the top coding-based model available today. This model excels in handling intricate coding tasks and is currently ranked number one on benchmarks like HumanEval and Suway. Interestingly, it even managed to create a Spotify clone with a single command, complete with a user interface, volume control, and more.

Today, the primary developer behind Klein, Su, unveiled another substantial upgrade. This addition is the integration of Anthropic’s new Compute Use API, which empowers users to launch a browser using Klein’s autonomous AI agent. This feature allows the AI to interact with web pages—clicking, typing, scrolling, and more—in real-time, thereby granting users enhanced autonomy during debugging and other web-based tasks. Klein now supports end-to-end testing along with general web interactions through various AI agents.

I maintain close communication with the developer of Klein, Zod, who shared insights into upcoming features for the framework. Currently, their focus is on addressing bugs and reducing token usage, but a noteworthy future feature will integrate mobile emulators. This enhancement will particularly aid mobile developers, enabling them to code within Visual Studio Code (VS Code) while leveraging Klein’s capabilities.

For those unfamiliar with Klein, it serves as an AI assistant driven by multiple large language models, adept at managing complex development tasks step-by-step within your coding environment. It offers tools for file editing, command execution, and web interaction, all within a regulated, user-friendly GUI that ensures real-time oversight and approval. I have previously produced several videos showcasing Klein, demonstrating its capacity to create entire full-stack applications, and I'll link those videos in the description below.

Before we proceed, I’d like to encourage you to subscribe to my second channel, as a significant update is on the horizon.

Despite its impressive features, Klein does face limitations, primarily due to its rate limits. These constraints can hinder workflow by slowing down response times, particularly during complex stages of application development. While you can utilize other models, they may not yield the same results as the CLAE 3.5. However, the development team is aware of these issues and plans to address them shortly.

Getting Started with Klein

To get started with Klein, simply install the extension through Visual Studio Code (VS Code). If you don’t yet have VS Code, I’ll provide a link in the description. You can find the Klein extension in the marketplace; just click on install to prompt VS Code to open.

If the update is not installed automatically, click on the update button to download version 2.1.1. Once installation is completed, go to the Klein extension settings and input an Anthropic API key to utilize the Compute Use API.

A community member, Abdullah, suggested a custom prompt to enhance code analysis and troubleshooting. This could certainly elevate the way you generate results with Klein, and I will include this in the description for those interested.

Following these setup steps, I decided to test the Compute Use API by checking the weather in Colorado. The process started with the AI navigating my browser, and within moments, I was presented with a 7-day weather forecast.

Next, I assigned the AI to scrape Google Reviews for a random plumbing company, instructing it to compile the information into a JSON file on my desktop. The AI efficiently identified and extracted reviews from several plumbing companies, compiling the relevant details into the desired format. This task was completed promptly, demonstrating the power of the new integration.

The anticipated introduction of the CLAE 3.5 model will further enhance Klein's capabilities, providing faster, more cost-effective computing and incorporating an 'edit mode' that minimizes coding instructions.

In conclusion, this latest update is poised to significantly enhance your experience with Klein. The number of tasks that the Compute Use API can assist with—from web browsing and scraping to terminal commands—will undoubtedly streamline your workflows.

If you wish to explore Klein further, I’ll provide all relevant links in the description. I want to extend my gratitude to the developer for making these impressive advancements. Also, check out my Patreon page to access our private Discord and monthly subscriptions.
