About Amazon Nova Sonic
Amazon Nova Sonic is a state-of-the-art speech-to-speech model that delivers real-time, human-like voice conversations with industry-leading price performance. It unifies speech understanding and generation into a single model, enabling developers to create natural, expressive conversational AI experiences with low latency. Nova Sonic adapts its responses based on the prosody of input speech, such as pace and timbre, resulting in more natural dialogue. It supports function calling and agentic workflows to interact with external services and APIs, including knowledge grounding with enterprise data using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). It provides robust speech understanding for American and British English across various speaking styles and acoustic conditions, with additional languages coming soon. Nova Sonic handles user interruptions gracefully without dropping conversational context and is robust to background noise.

Amazon Nova 2 Sonic
Nova 2 Sonic is Amazon’s real-time speech-to-speech model designed to deliver natural, flowing voice interactions without relying on separate systems for text and audio. It combines speech recognition, speech generation, and text processing in a single model, enabling smooth, human-like conversations that can shift effortlessly between voice and text. With expanded multilingual support and expressive voice options, it produces responses that sound more lifelike and contextually aware. Its one-million-token context window allows for long, continuous interactions without losing track of prior details. It supports asynchronous task handling, meaning users can continue speaking, change topics, or ask follow-up questions while background tasks, such as searching for information or completing a request, continue uninterrupted. This makes voice experiences feel more fluid and less bound by traditional turn-based dialog constraints.
