Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0
Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 is xAI’s flagship voice model for building real-time assistants, phone agents, and interactive voice systems that stream audio and text bidirectionally over WebSocket. Developers can configure system instructions, high or no reasoning effort, built-in or custom voices, automatic server-side voice activity detection, silence duration, idle re-engagement, playback speed, and session resumption after temporary disconnects. It accepts PCM, G.711 μ-law, G.711 A-law, and Opus audio through JSON or raw binary frames, with configurable PCM sample rates from telephone quality to 48 kHz. It supports more than 20 languages with native-quality accents, automatic language detection, natural responses in the speaker’s language, and seamless code-switching. Language hints and up to 100 key terms improve transcription of regional speech, names, products, codes, addresses, and specialized terminology, while pronunciation replacements correct spoken output.

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.
