Amazon’s Nova AI Models Are Here to Rival ChatGPT and Google Gemini
Dec. 4, 2024There are a total of six models under the Nova family: Nova Micro, Nova Lite, Nova Pro, Nova Premier, Nova Canvas, and Nova Reel.
Basically, with Nova AI models, Amazon has covered all the use cases ofGenerative AI. The Nova models will be available on Amazon Bedrock via its API for developers and business customers to power new AI experiences and applications.
What surprised me is that Amazon trained the Nova models on its custom Trainium chips and the inferencing is done on its Inferentia chips. Apparently, Amazon didn’t rely onNvidia GPUsto train its foundation models, similar to Google’s TPUs.
Amazon is going to bring Nova-powered AI experiences through Rufus in the shopping app and Alexa, its voice assistant. As for benchmarks, well, Amazon’s Nova Pro model doesn’t outrank flagship models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet (New) and GPT-4o, but it’s very competitive. You can check out the above table to find the benchmark numbers.
