Evaluate your Amazon Nova Sonic voice agent at scale, no microphone required
Quick Answer
AWS introduces the Nova Sonic Test Harness, an open-source framework for evaluating Amazon Nova Sonic voice agents at scale without a microphone.
Quick Take
AWS introduces the Nova Sonic Test Harness, an open-source framework for evaluating Amazon Nova Sonic voice agents at scale without a microphone. This tool automates multi-turn conversations, assesses output quality using LLM-as-judge techniques, and identifies audio hallucinations, enhancing system prompt tuning and configuration validation.
Key Points
- Nova Sonic Test Harness automates evaluation of voice agents at scale.
- Framework uses LLM-as-judge techniques for quality assessment.
- Detects audio hallucinations where audio and text outputs mismatch.
- Facilitates rapid iteration for tuning system prompts and configurations.
- No microphone is required for the evaluation process.
Article Excerpt
From source RSS / original summaryIn this post, we walk you through the Nova Sonic Test Harness, an open source framework that we built to solve both problems. It serves as a rapid iteration tool for tuning system prompts and tool configurations (run a conversation, see results, adjust, repeat) and as a comprehensive evaluation framework for validating voice agent quality at scale.
It runs complete multi-turn conversations with Amazon Nova Sonic automatically, evaluates them using LLM-as-judge techniques, and can even detect cases where the model’s audio output doesn’t match its text output (audio hallucinations). No microphone required.
