Голосовой режим Claude заработал на моделях Opus и Sonnet, не только Haiku
Anthropic расширила голосовой режим Claude: теперь он работает не только на быстрой Haiku, но и на более мощных моделях Opus и Sonnet. Компания говорит, что пользователи сразу начали применять голос для реальных рабочих задач, а не только для коротких вопросов. Заодно голосовой режим получил интеграции с Gmail, Slack и Canva.

Anthropic in July 2026 opened up Claude's voice mode for its flagship models Opus and Sonnet — previously it worked only on the fast but less powerful Haiku — and at the same time added integrations with the apps Gmail, Slack, and Canva.
Which models now have voice
Claude's voice mode is now available on three models at once — Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku — whereas before this update only Haiku could speak by voice. It was precisely Haiku, Anthropic's fastest and lightest model, that originally kept voice conversations at minimal latency, but it wasn't designed for complex tasks.
*Claude's voice mode launched in beta in 2025 and worked only on the Haiku model
*As of July 2026, voice is also available on Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet
*Integrations with Gmail, Slack, and Canva have been added
*The reason for the expansion — users started using voice for work tasks
Why Anthropic expanded voice
Anthropic expanded voice mode because users started using it in ways it wasn't originally intended for. According to the company, at launch in 2025 voice was designed for quick answers to simple questions with minimal latency, but people almost immediately began having more serious conversations through it.
People immediately started using voice mode to work "on real business tasks,"
Anthropic's blog states.
The Haiku model, by the company's own admission, "kept conversations fast but didn't always" handle such scenarios well. The more powerful Opus and Sonnet are built precisely for long and complex reasoning, so connecting them to voice closes this gap.
Where voice has been built in
Claude's voice mode now reaches third-party work apps — Gmail, Slack, and Canva. This means voice can be used not just to ask the assistant questions, but to work with email, team chats, and a design service without switching to the keyboard.
This expansion turns voice from a reference tool into a way to manage a workflow. Anthropic is betting that some office tasks are more convenient to delegate out loud, especially when the assistant is backed by an Opus-level model, not just the fast Haiku.
What this means
Anthropic is turning voice mode from a quick reference tool into a full-fledged work interface: connecting the powerful Opus and Sonnet models plus integrations with Gmail, Slack, and Canva make voice a tool for real work, not just for short questions.
