New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders.
Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbersโcalled activationsโencode Claudeโs thoughts, but not in a language we can read.
Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.
Excited about the launch of Amazon Nova Sonic, our new speech-to-speech model that helps make AI voice applications feel remarkably natural.
It's designed to understand not just what people say, but how they say it โ working with tone, style, and conversation flow including pauses and interruptions.
Nova Sonic delivers speech understanding and generation through a single, unified model, making it easier for builders to develop voice applications that maintain important context and nuance for customer service, AI agents, and other use cases across industries. Itโs available in Amazon Bedrock now.
Look forward to seeing what teams build with Nova Sonic! https://t.co/rayqNVF5C4
Excited to be with the team in NYC today rolling out the new Alexa+.
Across Amazon, weโre harnessing the transformative power of GenAI to reimagine the experiences we offer customers, and Alexa+ is the latest example.
Sheโs smarter, more capable, more personalized, and unlike chatbots, also takes action to help you get things doneโwhich is at the heart of our mission at Amazon to make customersโ lives better and easier every day.
Canโt wait to get Alexa+ into the hands of customers.

25 years ago, on March 8th, 1999 we had a big dream in a small apartment on Telegraph Hill, a dream of revolutionizing the software industry. We wanted to bring enterprise software to the cloud โ with a new technology model, a new business model and a new stakeholder model. We never imagined Salesforce would become what it is today: #1 AI CRM, the largest enterprise applications company, and the third-largest enterprise software company in the world. Weโre especially proud of the incredible culture we have all built together along the way, grounded in our core values of Trust, Customer Success, Innovation, Equality and Sustainability. We know that our values that create value, and that business is the greatest platform for change. Just look at the tremendous impact of our 1-1-1 model on our communities โ weโve given more than $700M in grants, performed 9 million hours of volunteer service, 56,000 nonprofits and higher-ed customers use our software for free, and nearly 20,000 other companies have adopted our model. All of this is because of you, our amazing โOhana. Youโre the reason Salesforce ranks as one of the most admired, ethical and innovative companies โ and a best place to work. Thank you for your extraordinary contributions. Weโre so excited for whatโs ahead and to be on this journey with all of you. With gratitude, Marc & Parker
