"Amazon detailed two improved large language models, Nova Lite and Nova Pro; a new realtime voice model called Nova Sonic; and a more experimental model called Nova Omni that performs a simulated kind of reasoning using images, audio, and video as well as text. The new models are being made available today to a limited number of customers."
"More significantly, given the importance of its cloud business, Amazon is also releasing a tool called Nova Forge that will let customers create specialized frontier models by adding their own training data to unfinished versions of the Nova 2 Lite and Pro models. It is already possible to fine-tune off-the-shelf AI models like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's GPT."
""Everyone is looking for a frontier model that's an expert in their domain," Rohit Prasad, who leads Amazon's AI efforts, told WIRED ahead of today's announcements. Prasad says that Amazon developed the technologies behind Nova Forge to empower internal teams, including those developing Alexa and AI agents to build custom models. "This is essentially a new open training paradigm," he says."
Amazon released a second-generation Nova family including Nova Lite, Nova Pro, Nova Sonic (realtime voice), and Nova Omni (multimodal simulated reasoning across images, audio, video, and text). The new models are available to a limited set of customers. Amazon also introduced Nova Forge, a tool that enables customers to add their own training data to unfinished Nova 2 Lite and Pro models at various training stages, including custom pre-training of base models. The approach allows deeper customization than standard fine-tuning and has been used by Reddit to build a custom model for content-rule identification.
