Anthropic 更新 Claude 语音模式，支持更强大的模型

在 OpenAI 推出新一代对话模型并更新 ChatGPT 语音模式数周后，其竞争对手 Anthropic 也采取行动，通过一次新更新让 Claude 更适合语音交互。该公司周四表示，用户现在可以在 Opus、Sonnet 和 Haiku 模型之间进行选择。

Claude 的语音模式于去年推出，此前由 Haiku 模型驱动，能够提供快速回应，但不太适合处理复杂工作。Anthropic 表示，更新后，语音模式会选取用户在文字聊天中最后使用的模型，并默认使用该模型速度最快的版本。

Anthropic 表示，新版语音模式可以帮助用户进行更长时间的对话，包括就沟通风格提供反馈、与客户演练提案，以及集思广益开展产品市场研究。

此外，Claude 的语音模式可以调用 Gmail、Google Calendar、Slack、Canva 和 Notion 等其他应用。这意味着用户可以要求它调整会议时间、起草电子邮件，或在 Notion 中创建文档。

值得注意的是，这与 OpenAI 的语音模式存在重大差异：后者虽然更新了对话风格，但仍无法使用不同工具来完成工作。

今年早些时候，Anthropic 曾为 Claude 语音模式添加多语言支持测试版。该公司表示，如今用户可以使用多种语言交流，但必须手动指定语言。目前，Anthropic 支持英语、法语、德语、印地语、印尼语、意大利语、日语、韩语、葡萄牙语（巴西）和西班牙语（拉丁美洲/西班牙）。

新的语音模式现已以测试版形式在所有平台向全部用户开放。不过，免费用户将被限制为只能使用 Haiku 模型，并且只能连接一个应用。

Anthropic 此次发布并未对语音模型本身作出调整，也没有详细说明其使用何种语音技术栈。这意味着，与 OpenAI 的发布不同，用户可能不会发现诸如更好地处理打断等对话体验改进。

Weeks after OpenAI rolled out a new family of conversational models and updated ChatGPT’s voice mode, rival Anthropic is making its move to make Claude more voice-friendly with a new update. The company said Thursday that users can choose between Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models.

Claude’s voice mode, which was released last year and powered by the Haiku model, provided quick responses, but wasn’t well suited for complex work. The company said that with the new update, voice mode picks the last model people used in the text chat and uses its fastest version by default.

Anthropic said that the new voice mode can help users with longer conversations, including providing feedback on their communication style, talking through a pitch to a client, and brainstorming product market research.

What’s more, Claude’s voice mode can tap into other apps like Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Canva, and Notion. This means that users can ask it to update a meeting slot, draft an email, or create a document in Notion.

Notably, this is a big difference from OpenAI’s voice mode, which updated its conversational style but still isn’t able to use different tools to get work done.

Earlier this year, Anthropic added multilingual support to Claude’s voice mode in beta. It said that now users can talk in various languages, but they have to manually specify the language. At the moment, Anthropic supports English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Spanish (Latin America/Spain).

The new voice mode is available to all users in beta across platforms. However, free users will be restricted to using the Haiku model with only one connected app.

Anthropic didn’t make any changes to the voice model with this release, and it hasn’t detailed what kind of voice stack it uses. That means, unlike OpenAI’s release, users might not find any conversational improvements such as better interruption handling.
