Introducing Claude 3.7 Sonnet in ElevenLabs Conversational AI

Anthropic has unveiled its latest flagship language model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet and it is generating hype for its  hybrid reasoning capabilities — delivering rapid, instinctive responses when needed, yet also able to dive deep with step‐by‐step analysis for more complex queries. 

At ElevenLabs, we’re thrilled to integrate this breakthrough model into our Conversational AI platform, empowering voice agents with unmatched intelligence and nuance.

Why Claude 3.7 Sonnet matters

With enhanced reasoning for complex problem-solving, reduced hallucinations, improved instruction following, and the ability to maintain coherence over extended exchanges, it sets a new standard for voice interactions. 

These features translate into more reliable and engaging experiences for end users — whether they’re interacting with a virtual tutor, customer support agent, or content assistant.

Seeing Claude 3.7 Sonnet in action

We recently demonstrated the model in a live debate between two AI agents — one powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet and the other by GPT-4o. In the debate, Claude’s superior reasoning and engaging, factually accurate responses shone through, proving its value in real-world conversational settings. 

Flexible LLM Integration: From DeepSeek to Claude

This latest integration builds on our previous work with DeepSeek R1. At ElevenLabs, we are committed to supporting the most advanced language models. 

Our Conversational AI platform now offers a choice of LLMs, ensuring you can select the best model for your specific use case. This includes custom LLMs not on our default list such as DeepSeek or your own in-house models trained on your data.
