Anthropic upgrades Claude voice mode with Opus and Sonnet
Anthropic upgraded Claude's voice mode on July 23 so it can run on the company's more capable Opus and Sonnet models for the first time, rather than only the faster, lighter Haiku model it previously relied on. The change lets paying Claude subscribers tap deeper reasoning during spoken conversations. It landed amid a broader week of Claude updates, including a beta Claude Security plugin that scans code for high-severity vulnerabilities inside Claude Code.
