At its re:Invent 2024 conference, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon’s cloud computing division, announced a new family of generative AI, multimodal models called Nova.
There’s four text-based models in total: Micro, Lite, Pro, and Premier. Micro, Lite, and Pro are available today for AWS customers, while Premiere will launch in Q1 2025, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said onstage.
In addition to those, there’s an image generation model, Nova Canas, and a video-generating model, Nova Reel.
“We’ve continued to work on our own frontier models,” Jassy said, “and those frontier models have made a tremendous amount of progress over the last four to five months. And we figured, if we were finding value out of them, you would probably find value out of them.”
