Amazon has launched new “Nova” base models as part of the company’s Bedrock service library. Bedrock is an enterprise service that offers a series of basic AI models from companies like Anthropic, Meta, Mistral AI, Stablility AI, and many others.
Three models are currently available: Nova Micro, Nova Lite and Nova Pro. Nova Premier will be added in early 2025. Nova Micro is a low-cost, text-only model designed for low-latency responses. Nova Lite can process images, videos and text, while Nova Pro offers a “combination of precision, speed and cost for a wide range of tasks”
Nova Premier (Q1 2025) will be designed for complex reasoning tasks. Amazon specifies that these models are “at least 75% less expensive than the best performing models in their respective intelligence classes in Amazon Bedrock”
Amazon also announced two content generation models – Nova Canvas and Nova Reel. Canvas is an image generation template, and Reel can generate six-second videos from simple prompts or images. This model will gradually be extended to two-minute videos “in the coming months”
The company said it will launch two more models in the first quarter of 2025. One of them will be a text-to-speech model to enable “conversational AI applications”, and a “multimodal native model to multimodal,” which can perform “a wide variety of tasks,” like translating content from one modality to another, editing content, and more.
