Last week I met Jeff Barr at the AWS Shenzhen Community Day. Jeff shared stories about how builders around the world are experimenting with generative AI and encouraged local developers to keep pushing ideas into real prototypes. Many attendees stayed after the sessions to discuss model grounding, evaluation, and how to bring generative AI into […]

AWS announced Amazon Nova Web Grounding, a new built-in tool for Nova models on Amazon Bedrock that automatically retrieves current, cited information to reduce AI hallucinations and improve accuracy in applications requiring up-to-date factual data.

The Nova Act extension is a new IDE-integrated tool that enables developers to create browser automation agents using natural language through the Nova Act model, offering features like Builder Mode, chat capabilities, and predefined templates while streamlining the development process without leaving their preferred development environment.

AWS now enables extensive customization of Amazon Nova foundation models through SageMaker AI with techniques including continued pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, direct preference optimization, reinforcement learning from human feedback and model distillation to better address domain-specific requirements across industries.

Every Monday we tell you about the best releases and blogs that caught our attention last week. This week I’m making an exception to include a release from today: Amazon Bedrock API keys. This new feature simplifies generative AI development by providing direct API authentication without needing to manually configure IAM principals and policies. Amazon […]

Amazon Nova Canvas has introduced two new AI-powered image generation capabilities: virtual try-on for visualizing clothing on people and style options for applying predefined artistic styles to images, both accessible through the Amazon Bedrock console with straightforward API implementation.

Last week I went to Thailand to attend the AWS Summit Bangkok. It was an energizing and exciting event. We hosted the Developer Lounge, where developers can meet, discuss ideas, enjoy lightning talks, win SWAGs at AWS Builder ID Prize Wheel, take a challenge at Amazon Q Developer Coding Challenge, or learn Generative AI at […]

Nova Premier is designed to excel at complex tasks requiring deep context understanding, multistep planning, and coordination across tools and data sources. It has capabilities for processing text, images, and videos while also serving as a teacher model for distilling smaller, more efficient models for production use.
