Notes from the teams shipping computer use to real users.
The interesting question is not whether Warp works. It does. The interesting question is what teams do with it once the novelty wears off.
What Mistral actually shipped with Claude 4.5 Sonnet is less a single capability and more a cluster of small, compounding improvements — the kind that only show up when you put a real workflow on top.
