Native Speech-to-Speech (S2S) Architecture with Tone-Aware Reasoning

A fully operational, voice‑native AI architecture is presented for integration into Anthropic’s multimodal ecosystem. The system reverses the traditional Speech‑to‑Speech (S2S) pipeline by moving expressive intent, tone reasoning, and multimodal context into the core cognitive loop rather than treating audio as a post‑processing layer. This shift enables real‑time emotional interpretation, adaptive voice expression, and a unified text‑audio reasoning model.
