Amazon Nova Sonic

AmazonProprietaryPending Human Review

Amazon Nova Sonic is a proprietary Amazon foundation model. The initial Nova spoken-dialogue model unifies speech recognition, contextual language understanding, and speech generation. It targets conversational assistants with natural prosody, interruptibility, and tool use, rather than simply converting speech to transcripts. The model is provided through Amazon Bedrock streaming interfaces. Nova 2 Sonic is a later, separately named generation. Amazon has not published the model’s parameter count or detailed network architecture. Responses can contain unsupported claims, and preview/service availability varies by region and customer access.
