AWS Announces Nova Forge And Nova 2 Models

During AWS re:Invent, CEO Matt Garman unveiled Nova Forge, the Nova 2 family, and Bedrock agent updates. Nova Forge provides partially trained checkpoints enabling enterprises to produce proprietary "Novellas" on Bedrock; Nova 2 ships in Lite, Pro, Sonic and Omni variants. Bedrock also receives policy extensions and a real-time evaluation suite to constrain and monitor agent behaviors, though models remain Bedrock-exclusive.
Key Points
- 1Introduces Nova Forge delivering partially-trained checkpoints to build domain-specific proprietary models called Novellas
- 2Creates Nova 2 family (Lite, Pro, Sonic, Omni) offering multi-modal and speech capabilities for enterprise workloads
- 3Adds Bedrock policy controls and real-time evaluation to monitor agents and reduce unsafe or undesired behaviors
Scoring Rationale
Significant AWS product and agent launches with practical tools; limited by proprietary model exclusivity and potential vendor lock-in.
