Anthropic updates Claude voice mode with more capable models
Anthropic has updated its Claude voice mode to support its more powerful Opus and Sonnet models, moving beyond the entry-level Haiku model. The update allows users to integrate voice interactions with productivity tools like Gmail, Slack, and Notion.
Why it matters
This expansion enables more complex, agentic AI workflows via voice, positioning Anthropic as a direct competitor to OpenAI's voice capabilities in professional environments.
Weeks after OpenAI rolled out a new family of conversational models and updated ChatGPT’s voice mode , rival Anthropic is making its move to make Claude more voice-friendly with a new update. The company said Thursday that users can choose between Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models.
Claude’s voice mode, which was released last year and powered by the Haiku model, provided quick responses, but wasn’t well suited for complex work. The company said that with the new update, voice mode picks the last model people used in the text chat and uses its fastest version by default.
Anthropic said that the new voice mode can help users with longer conversations, including providing feedback on their communication style, talking through a pitch to a client, and brainstorming product market research.
