AWS cuts voice-agent waiting time with sentence-level Kokoro streaming
AWS has published a SageMaker AI pattern that streams each completed agent sentence to the Kokoro-82M text-to-speech model instead of waiting for a full answer. Tests reduced transport time to first audio by 52.4 per cent and delivered 2.4-to-3.5-times faster end-to-end starts, while documenting binary transport, buffering and dependency-security trade-offs.
