"It's a big year for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. It got a large language model power-up earlier this year in the form of Alexa+ (a paid upgrade for non-Amazon Prime subscribers), and now, Amazon has fresh hardware to take advantage of the assistant's new capabilities. At an event in New York City, Amazon senior vice president Panos Panay took to the stage to unveil a slew of devices, ranging from a new TV operating system called Vega to power its Fire TV Stick."
"Panay says the smart displays have vibrant, thin screens, the speakers have a new 3D knit fabric with no seams, and they're all "acoustically transparent" for vibrant sound. The Echo Dot Max is powered by Amazon's new AZ3 chip, with the other devices utilizing the AZ3 Pro. Amazon says they're faster, more powerful, with faster wake-word detection and up-to-date on-device AI processing."
Alexa+ received a large language model upgrade earlier this year. Amazon unveiled new hardware to use Alexa+ capabilities, including Echo speakers and displays, 2K and 4K Ring cameras, Blink devices, and three Kindle Scribe tablets, one with a color screen. New Echo models include the Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11, using AZ3 and AZ3 Pro chips for faster wake-word detection and improved on-device AI. Devices include Omnisense sensors for contextual awareness and personalized experiences. Amazon also introduced a new Fire TV operating system called Vega to power the Fire TV Stick.
