Claude voice mode now supports Anthropic’s Opus and Sonnet models, giving users access to stronger reasoning and more capable responses during spoken conversations. Until now, voice mode only worked with the faster Haiku model, which focused more on speed than deeper analysis.
The upgrade brings Claude’s voice experience closer to the intelligence already available through text chats. Paid users can now use the more advanced models while speaking, which should make voice conversations more useful for research, planning, writing, and detailed questions.
