Currently, three models are available:
- Amazon Nova Micro, a text model that is “optimized for speed and cost”;
- Amazon Nova Lite, a “very affordable” multimodal model that can accept images, videos, and text for text generation;
- Amazon Nova Pro, a “high-performance” multimodal model.
The company is also preparing a model called Amazon Nova Premier, which it claims will be “our most capable multimodal model for complex reasoning.” Amazon plans to make Nova Premier available “in early 2025.”
Additionally, Amazon is releasing content generation models: Amazon Nova Canvas, an image generation model, and Amazon Nova Reel, a video generation model. The company states that these models have “watermarking capabilities” to “promote responsible AI use.” As an example of what can be done with Nova Reel, Amazon shared a humorous advertisement for a fake pasta brand.
Later, in 2025, Amazon plans to launch a speech-to-speech model and a native any-to-any multimodal model.
