Amazon Nova Forge: Build your own Frontier Models using Nova

Nova Forge General Availability

AWS is excited to announce the general availability of Nova Forge, a new service to build your own frontier models using Nova. With Nova Forge, you can start your model development on SageMaker AI from early Nova checkpoints across pre-training, mid-training, or post-training phases. You can blend proprietary data with Amazon Nova-curated data to train the model. Additionally, you can execute Reinforcement Fine Tuning (RFT) with reward functions in your environment and implement custom safety guardrails using the built-in responsible AI toolkit.

Nova Forge allows you to build models that deeply understand your organization’s proprietary knowledge and reflects your expertise, while preserving general capabilities like reasoning and minimizing risks like catastrophic forgetting. Nova Forge customers get early access to new Nova models, including Nova 2 Pro and Nova 2 Omni.
