Initial versions of Amazon’s new voice assistant that used the company’s own AI reportedly proved insufficient, often struggling with words and responding to user prompts.
The improved version of Alexa that Amazon’s expected to release this year will primarily be powered by Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence model, according to Reuters. The publication reports that initial versions of Amazon’s smarter, subscription-based voice assistant that used the company’s own AI proved insufficient, often struggling with words and responding to user prompts. Amazon’s minority stake in Anthropic is currently under investigation by the UK’s competition regulators.
” Meanwhile, Amazon’s currently dated but market-leading voice assistant is facing greater competition from challengers like OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT, Google Gemini’s voice chat mode, and even Siri’s upcoming Apple Intelligence update. The new Alexa built around Claude reportedly performs better than the version powered by Amazon’s in-house AI models. “Amazon uses many different technologies to power Alexa,” the company told Reuters.
