Amazon’s new Alexa LLM is poised to improve the brains of your smart home.
The first big change with the new Alexa will be a more conversational assistant
The first big change with the new Alexa will be a more conversational assistant, one that can understand more of what you say and require less specific nomenclature to do what you ask. This is one of the most common causes of frustration with voice assistants — having to repeat yourself when you ask it to turn down the thermostat or having it respond, “A few things share the name ‘lights.
Another new capability is responding to multiple requests at once. This is not just the basic stuff it could already do , such as “Alexa turn off the lights and lock the door.” This is more advanced. “You can say, ‘Alexa, turn on the sprinklers and open my garage door, and turn off the outside lights,’ and it’ll figure that all out,” says Limp.
The possibly soon-to-be-Amazon-owned Roomba is getting in on Alexa’s new AI capabilities thanks to a new developer program that lets device manufacturers poll its LLM abilities to allow for more conversational commands.Developers will also be able to leverage Alexa’s new cognitive functions. Amazon is introducing two tools that allow the new Alexa to control certain unique features of third-party manufacturer products that aren’t necessarily in Amazon’s smart home ecosystem toolkit.

Even the Echo can struggle with the Amazon Event’s Wi-Fi, but the AI demo is impressive.Limp is showing off the new LLM powering Alexa at the event, and it's slow, much like the Wi-Fi currently at the Amazon event, but it did know Limp’s favorite football team without prompting. And apparently, Alexa is a Seahawks fan. The most impressive part of this troubled demo was the total lack of wake words between each question. Limp grilled it like a 5-year-old when they see you have a Nintendo Switch and apart from Wi-Fi hiccups it sounded like a normal conversation.
