Mistral AI just released a text-to-speech model it says beats ElevenLabs — and it's giving away the weights for free

The enterprise voice AI market is in the middle of a land grab. ElevenLabs and IBM announced a collaboration just this week to bring premium voice capabilities into IBM's watsonx Orchestrate platform. Google Cloud has been expanding its Chirp 3 HD voices. OpenAI continues to iterate on its own speech synthesis. And the market underpinning all of this activity is enormous — voice AI crossed $22 billion globally in 2026, with the voice AI agents segment alone projected to reach $47.5 billion by 2034, according to industry estimates.

Anthropic’s Claude can now control your Mac, escalating the fight to build AI agents that actually do work

The update, available immediately as a research preview for paying subscribers, transforms Claude from a conversational assistant into something closer to a remote digital operator. It arrives inside both Claude Cowork, the company's agentic productivity tool, and Claude Code, its developer-focused command-line agent. Anthropic is also extending Dispatch — a feature introduced last week that lets users assign Claude tasks from a mobile phone — into Claude Code for the first time, creating an end-to-end pipeline where a user can issue instructions from anywhere and return to a finished deliverable.
