Anthropic is continuing to trickle down features to its free users. The
latest one to make the leap out of subscriber-only mode is web search, which
the company introduced to its AI chatbot Claude in March. According to
Anthropic, connecting Claude to the web allows it to deliver more accurate
responses based on the most up-to-date information available online. This
feature is available to all Claude users starting today.

In addition, Anthropic has begun beta tests for voice mode on its mobile
apps. This option lets users interact with Claude in natural conversations in
an expansion of the platform's existing dictation tools. There will be five
voice options available to assign to Claude, and the AI assistant can provide
full transcripts and voice mode summaries after a conversation.

May has been a busy month for Anthropic, which just launched two new models
last week. Opus 4 is a powerful coding-focused system that can use multiple
tools in parallel and can run for several hours at a time, while Sonnet 4 is
a hybrid reasoning model designed to move between quick queries and more
complex ones. The current beta testing of voice mode will default to Sonnet
4.
