Streaming low-latency speech from AI agents with Kokoro TTS
Sentence-level streaming cuts the dead wait between an agent finishing its text and the first audible word, which is the main latency users notice in voice apps. Developers building voice agents can reuse the SageMaker deployment pattern with SSE or binary transport directly. Kokoro-82M is an open-weight model, so it can also be self-hosted outside AWS for cost comparison.
