About 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.
