Amazon SageMaker launches the Kokoro-82M TTS model, supporting low-latency streaming speech synthesis for AI voice agents.

AWS has released a technical solution that leverages the Kokoro-82M text-to-speech model hosted on SageMaker, using bidirectional WebSocket to enable AI agents to generate text and synthesize speech simultaneously, significantly reducing end-to-end speech response latency. The solution offers two audio back‑transmission methods—Base64‑SSE and unified binary transmission—and is explicitly labeled as “proof-of-value,” meaning it has not yet reached production‑ready status.
