Amazon tiene la misión de ser la compañía más orientada al cliente del mundo, en la que las personas puedan encontrar prácticamente cualquier producto que quieran comprar en línea. Conscientes de que nuestros clientes buscan precios bajos, gran variedad y comodidad, nos esforzamos en exceder sus expectativas, y es por este motivo que Amazon continúa creciendo y afianzando su posición entre las plataformas de comercio en línea líderes del mundo.
Creado por Jeff Bezos, el sitio web Amazon.com abrió sus puertas virtuales en 1995 para ser un lugar en el que los amantes de la lectura pudieran comprar libros en un entorno único que solo la web podía ofrecer. Bezos estaba convencido de que Internet brindaría a los clientes la comodidad de explorar una selección de millones de obras sin moverse del sitio. Durante sus primeros 30 días de existencia, Amazon tramitó pedidos para clientes repartidos en los 50 estados de Estados Unidos y en 45 países; y todos los pedidos se enviaron desde el garaje de Bezos, ubicado en el área de Seattle.
La evolución de Amazon, que ha pasado de sitio web a socio de comercio en línea hasta convertirse en plataforma de desarrollo, ha sido impulsada por el espíritu de innovación inherente a la compañía. Amazon atrae a los talentos más brillantes con el fin de investigar y desarrollar tecnologías que mejoren la vida de compradores y vendedores de todas las partes del mundo.

Congratulations to the Amazon Project Kuiper team on a milestone launch this week, successfully deploying and activating 27 broadband satellites into space. This is a massive step in the mission to bring fast and reliable internet to customers all over the world.
Important moment for Amazon Project Kuiper as we just confirmed our first 27 production satellites are operating as expected in low Earth orbit. While this is the first step in a much longer journey to launch the rest of our low Earth orbit constellation, it represents an incredible amount of invention and hard work. Am really proud of the collective team.

Thrilled to introduce a new addition to the Amazon Nova family of foundation models – Amazon Nova Sonic – a speech-to-speech model that makes it dramatically easier for developers to build voice-powered applications and AI agents that are more useful, natural, and engaging.
Since launching Nova, we have been moving at lightning speed, guided by our customers’ needs. One thing we’ve heard loud and clear: building voice applications is far too complex. It’s like playing telephone between three different models – speech recognition to convert voice to text, a language model to understand and generate a text response, and text-to-speech to generate voice again. Even if it works, nuance is often lost, making the conversation with the AI feel unnatural and disconnected.
Nova Sonic solves this by unifying all three steps – speech recognition, understanding, and generation – into a single architecture. This allows it to model not just what is spoken, but how it’s spoken, enabling more context-aware and dynamic responses. Nova Sonic also produces a text transcript so that developers can easily integrate their tools, APIs, and proprietary knowledge into their voice application.
With Nova Sonic, developers can reimagine building AI agents that truly understand context, maintain natural conversation flow, and take action on user’s behalf. End users can simply say, “I need to cancel my flight this weekend,” and have natural back-and-forth conversation about their options.
Available in American and British English in Amazon Bedrock today, Nova Sonic is the most accurate, fastest, and least expensive model in its class (and there are only a few in this space today). Customers like ASAPP, Education First, Stats Perform, and our own internal teams with early access to Nova Sonic, are ready to move from prototypes to production in a wide variety of use cases, including customer service automation, education, healthcare, and sports.
Can't wait to see what developers will build with Nova Sonic to make AI truly accessible to everyone! https://amzn.to/3Gd2Mj5
