Meet new Amazon Nova AI models that help build highly reliable AI agents

From ChatGPT:

If you want a mental model:

Before Nova Forge

Bedrock: easy task-level fine-tuning & distillation, details abstracted.

SageMaker AI: raw recipes where you can choose full-rank vs LoRA, SFT/DPO/CPT/RLHF, plus distillation.

With Nova Forge

Same underlying toolbox (full-rank, PEFT, RLHF, distillation),

But packaged as: “we’ll run open training + RL gyms + distillation on internal Nova checkpoints for you and hand you a bespoke frontier model.”

So Nova Forge isn’t “introducing RL/distillation to AWS”; it’s productizing them into a turnkey frontier-model factory specifically for Nova.

Nova Forge empowers organizations to build their own optimized variants of Nova—we call them “Novellas”
