Anthropic Adds Opus and Sonnet to Claude's Voice Mode

The change lets users trade speed for deeper reasoning in voice chats as Anthropic embeds the capability into common productivity apps.

Overview

  • Anthropic rolled out support for the Opus and Sonnet models in Claude’s voice mode, moving beyond the Haiku-only setup users had since last year.
  • A new on-screen selector lets users switch between Haiku, Opus and Sonnet during a single voice conversation and adjust a ‘thinking’ control to balance speed and depth.
  • Voice features with Opus and Sonnet have been extended into third-party apps including Gmail, Slack and Canva to enable task‑oriented voice workflows inside those tools.
  • Language support for voice mode has expanded beyond English to include French, German, Spanish, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese.
  • Higher-tier Mythos models such as Claude Fable are not yet available in voice mode, leaving the rollout staged and signaling users and businesses should expect further model additions later.
