After more than a year of waiting, Amazon finally unveiled on Wednesday in New York City its next-generation Alexa voice assistant.
It centers around large language models (LLMs) like the ones that power ChatGPT or Google's Gemini. With the power of an LLM — which can understand and parse natural language and multistep commands — Amazon's newly coined Alexa Plus seems to be able to do a lot more than its predecessor, which launched more than a decade ago.
