Description
Amazon's most powerful model, designed for complex reasoning tasks and to serve as a 'teacher' model — a large model whose knowledge is distilled (compressed) into the smaller Nova models. Features agentic capabilities where it can autonomously plan and execute multi-step tasks, and processes text, images, and video.
Notable Milestones
- ▸Teacher model for distilling knowledge into smaller Nova models
- ▸Complex multi-step agentic workflows on AWS
- ▸1M token context for enterprise document processing
Key Innovations
Reasoning
ReasoningStructured step-by-step problem solving, often using chain-of-thought or tree-of-thought approaches.
Agentic
AgenticModels that can autonomously plan, execute multi-step tasks, use tools, and self-correct without human intervention.
Multimodal
MultimodalProcessing multiple types of input (text, images, audio, video) in a single model.
Distillation
DistillationTraining a smaller 'student' model to mimic a larger 'teacher' model, preserving capability at lower cost.
