TLDR This entry in one minute
  • Anthropic updated Claude's voice mode on July 23, replacing the old Haiku-only setup with a choice of Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku
  • A live call now opens with whichever model you last used in text chat, and a picker inside the call lets you switch mid-conversation
  • Free users keep Haiku and one connected app, paid plans unlock every model and every connected tool
