Amazon continues to advance by introducing the Nova model series consecutively, following the Nova Reel video model. The Nova Sonic model is the next in line, serving as a voice response model that seamlessly integrates speech understanding and speech generation functions into a single model, eliminating the need for separate models moving forward.
What makes Nova Sonic intriguing is its speech-to-speech model, which takes speech input and generates output as text or speech, operating in real-time. An example showcased by Amazon is using it as a call center, where it receives customer calls, interprets the meaning, searches for information in the database (via external system connections such as RAG), and promptly responds back with speech to the customer.
Currently, Amazon Nova Sonic is available for use in English on Amazon Bedrock platform.
TLDR: Amazon introduces the Nova Sonic model, combining speech understanding and generation functions into a single model, enabling real-time speech-to-speech capabilities.
