Anthropic updates Claude voice mode with more capable models
Claude's new voice model will let you reschedule your meeting or draft an email.
Get smart on it
Anthropic has updated Claude's voice mode to support multiple AI models of varying capability levels, allowing users to choose between different options for voice conversations. Previously, the voice mode only used the fastest but least capable model, which limited its usefulness for complex tasks. The new update enables voice mode to integrate with external apps like email, calendar, and document tools, letting users accomplish work tasks through voice commands. This represents a competitive response to similar updates from OpenAI and differentiates Anthropic's offering by including app integration capabilities.

FAIRChem v2 UMA for Multidomain Atomistic Simulation across Molecules, Catalysts, Materials, Vibrations, and Molecular Dynamics
In this tutorial, we explore FAIRChem v2 and the UMA universal machine-learning interatomic potential as a unified framework for atomistic simulation across molecular chemistry, catalysis, and inorganic materials. We configure an environment, authenticate with Hugging Face to access the gated UMA model weights, and initialize task-specific calculators for the omol, oc20, and omat domains. We then apply the same pretrained potential to a broad set of computational chemistry workflows, including
Induction Labs Photon-1 Simulates Desktops, Plays Checkers, and Models Billiard Physics From One Pretraining Run
Most agents that learn from video need to know what action produced each frame. Induction Labs is arguing that this requirement is the bottleneck. Last week, they released imagination models, a foundation model architecture that pretrains on raw video with no action labels at all. Their test system is Photon-1, a sparse 106B-A5B mixture-of-experts (MoE) transformer trained on 18 years of computer demonstration video. On an internal computer use benchmark, Induction Labs reports that Photon-1
