> Controlling lights is easily an entire second faster

How long time did it used to take VS how long time does it take now? I'm not sure "an entire second faster" is sarcasm here, big improvement or what.

There used to be second or two between finishing a command and it getting executed. We easily use Alexa 20x a day at my house. Announcements, kitchen timers, lights & music.

I think the voice recognition is async now. It's streaming the data to a model. Before it would wait until the command was finished then send the .wav file off to a model.
