Amazon Nova Forge: Build your own Frontier Models using Nova

We are 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. You can also take advantage of model development features available exclusively on Nova Forge, including the ability to execute Reinforcement Fine Tuning (RFT) with reward functions in your environment and to 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. In addition, Nova Forge customers get early access to new Nova models, including Nova 2 Pro and Nova 2 Omni.

Nova Forge is available today in US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region and will be available in additional regions in the coming months. Learn more about Nova Forge on the AWS News Blog, the Amazon Nova Forge product page, or the Amazon Nova Forge user guide. You can get started with Nova Forge today from the Amazon Nova Forge console.
