- Voice mode is now available on Claude Opus and Sonnet models.
- Users were previously limited to the less capable Haiku model for voice tasks.
- New integrations connect voice mode to Gmail, Slack, and Canva.
- The update targets complex business workflows instead of simple queries.
Anthropic has expanded the availability of its voice mode feature beyond the lightweight Haiku model. Users can now utilize voice interactions with the more capable Opus and Sonnet models, allowing for more complex reasoning and analysis through spoken input.
The update responds to user behavior where individuals were attempting to solve serious business problems using the faster but less intelligent Haiku model. By enabling voice on the larger models, Anthropic aims to support deeper workflows rather than just quick, casual queries.
In addition to model upgrades, the company is extending voice mode reach into third-party applications. Integrations are now available for platforms such as Gmail, Slack, and Canva, allowing users to interact with their work tools using Claude's voice interface directly.
