Amazon Nova is Amazon's family of foundation models and related services, used by developers through Amazon Bedrock on AWS.
In plain words
Amazon built these models from technology first made for its own products, such as Alexa+ and its online stores. Nova models handle text, images, video and speech, and can call APIs and power agents. Beyond the models, the Nova name also covers Nova Act, a service for agents that operate web interfaces, and Nova Forge, for building your own models. A second generation, Amazon Nova 2, is now available.
A quick example
Imagine an online shop that wants short product summaries from long seller descriptions. Its developers could call a Nova model through Amazon Bedrock and pay per use, without running any model servers themselves.
