ANTHROPIC

Anthropic has started rolling out a voice mode for its Claude app, letting users have full spoken conversations with the chatbot for the first time.

The Details:

  • Voice mode (beta) is powered by Claude Sonnet 4 and is rolling out in English to mobile users over the coming weeks.

  • It enables hands-free interactions, voice responses, live transcripts, and auto-generated summaries during chats.

  • Users can toggle between voice and text, choose from five voice styles, and discuss files, calendars, or Gmail content.

  • Voice usage counts toward regular conversation caps, with most free users getting 20–30 interactions.

  • Google Workspace and Docs access through voice mode is limited to paid and enterprise plans, respectively.

Why it matters:

Anthropic’s new voice mode makes Claude feel more like a true AI assistant. While rivals like ChatGPT and Gemini already support voice, Claude’s clarity, on-screen summaries, and voice stability could make it a go-to for hands-free AI use.

GROK & TELEGRAM

Telegram has partnered with Elon Musk’s xAI to bring its Grok chatbot directly into the messaging app, expanding its reach and capabilities for a full year.

The Details:

  • Telegram will integrate Grok into its apps for one year, with xAI paying $300 million in cash and equity for the deal.

  • Telegram earns 50% of all xAI subscription revenue made through in-app purchases.

  • Grok, previously limited to Telegram Premium users, may soon be accessible to all users within the app.

  • Features include pinning Grok to the top of chats, asking questions from the search bar, and getting writing suggestions or summaries.

  • Grok can also assist businesses by moderating chats and answering customer questions, similar to Meta AI’s role in Instagram and WhatsApp.

Why it matters:

This partnership pushes Grok into the hands of Telegram’s massive user base, expanding its footprint far beyond X. For Telegram, it’s a step toward becoming a more AI-integrated platform while earning a slice of subscription revenue. It also sets the stage for more embedded AI experiences across messaging platforms.

AI & TECH NEWS

OpenAI is launching a new shopping mode in ChatGPT that lets users compare prices, view reviews, and buy products directly in chat. It’s ad-free and includes images, links, and pricing. The feature is rolling out soon to all users, including free accounts.

Amazon unveiled Nova Premier, a powerful AI model with a 1M token context window for deep reasoning and multimodal tasks. It powers multi-agent workflows and can train smaller versions like Nova Micro, now available on Amazon Bedrock for scalable, cost-efficient deployments.

Tavus unveiled Hummingbird-0, a zero-shot lip-sync model that needs only one video to match any voice. Built on Phoenix-3, it delivers ultra-realistic results with no training required. Try it now on Fal or via Tavus’ API.

Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses now auto-record voice commands by default, with no way to fully disable it—only delete or turn off voice control. The change helps train Meta’s AI, but raises privacy concerns as the AI-powered mic stays live unless fully shut off.

Duolingo is phasing out human contractors, shifting content creation and other repetitive tasks to AI. CEO Luis von Ahn says future hiring will only happen if AI can’t do the job. AI is also now used in hiring decisions and performance reviews.
