What is AWS Nova 2 Sonic?
Amazon Nova 2 Sonic is AWS's speech-to-speech model for real-time conversational AI, announced in December 2025 and served through Amazon Bedrock. Rather than transcribing audio, reasoning over text and synthesising a reply, it takes audio in and returns audio out in one pass — preserving tone, pacing and interruption cues that a text transcript throws away, and cutting the latency of every conversational turn.
