AWS Launches Nova Forge Custom Models

At AWS re:Invent, AWS launched Nova Forge, a service that enables enterprises to train Nova 2 Lite models on their proprietary data starting immediately. The service, priced at $100,000 per year, offers pre/mid/post training, RL fine-tuning and model distillation but requires deployment through Amazon Bedrock. Enterprises gain more domain-aligned models while facing cost and portability limits.
