🎙️ Amazon announced Amazon Nova 2 Sonic, a speech-to-speech model for natural, real-time conversational AI available via Amazon Bedrock. The model delivers streaming speech understanding robust to background noise and diverse speaking styles, expressive polyglot voices, turn-taking controllability, asynchronous tool calling, and a one‑million token context window. Developers can integrate Nova 2 Sonic with Amazon Connect, leading telephony providers, open-source frameworks, and Bedrock’s bidirectional streaming API; it’s initially available in select AWS Regions.
