Amazon Unveils New AI Voice Model Nova Sonic

On Tuesday, Amazon introduced a new generative AI model, Nova Sonic, which can natively process speech and generate natural-sounding voices. Amazon claims that in benchmark tests measuring speed, speech recognition, and conversation quality, Sonic's performance is comparable to the cutting-edge voice models of OpenAI and Google. Nova Sonic is Amazon's response to the new generation of AI voice models, such as the one powering ChatGPT's voice mode. Compared with Amazon Alexa's earlier, more rigid models, the new model feels more natural to talk to. Nova Sonic is available through Bedrock, Amazon's developer platform for building enterprise AI applications, and the model uses a new two-way streaming API.
