Voice mode now works with a selection of Claude models.

July 27, 2026

Anthropic released an upgrade to the Claude AI model family’s voice mode that promises to make it more helpful for users.

The updates, revealed in a blog post on July 23, enable Claude to provide more assistance in a number of scenarios, particularly for those using it in a work environment.

Until now, voice mode has run on Haiku, Claude’s smallest model, which was chosen for speed. However, as Anthropic acknowledged: “It kept conversations quick, but not always deep.”
