AWS Debuts Nova AI

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled four new AI models within its Nova model family, alongside a service designed to provide customers with enhanced control over AI implementation. The Nova 2 models offer industry-leading price-performance across reasoning, multimodal processing, conversational AI, code generation and agentic tasks. Nova Forge enables companies to build their own optimised variants of Nova by infusing their proprietary data early in the training process through Forge's unique 'open training' approach. Nova Act achieves breakthrough 90% reliability for browser-based UI automation workflows built by early customers.

Nova Forge empowers organisations to build optimised variants of Nova by blending proprietary data with Nova's capabilities. The service pioneers 'open training', giving access to pre-trained, mid-trained and post-trained Nova model checkpoints, so customers can mix their proprietary data with Amazon Nova-curated datasets at every stage of model training. The result is a customised model that combines Nova's knowledge and reasoning power with a deep understanding of each organisation's specific business. Nova Act, powered by a custom Nova 2 Lite model, delivers 90% reliability on early customer workflows and outperforms competing models on relevant benchmarks.
