Amazon's Alexa to Receive Major Update in October

According to Odaily, Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa is set to undergo a significant update this October, primarily powered by Anthropic's Claude model instead of Amazon's own AI. Five sources familiar with the matter revealed to Reuters that this upgrade will come with a subscription fee. Users will be charged between $5 to $10 per month for the enhanced version of Alexa, while the classic version will remain free.
