Amazon unveils next generation of AI-powered Echo devices

Amazon announced four new Echo devices that it says were built from the ground up for Alexa+. “The all-new Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11 are the most advanced Echo devices we’ve ever built. They deliver more processing power, memory, edge-based computing, and advanced sensing capabilities to enable Alexa+ to deliver ambient AI experiences that fade into the background of daily life. They have an all-new look and feel we think customers will love. And now, any customer who orders a new Echo device will get access to Alexa+ out of the box. At the core of our new Echo devices are two custom-designed silicon chips-AZ3 and AZ3 Pro-with an all-new AI Accelerator designed to run AI edge models of the future.”
