Announcing Amazon Nova 2 foundation models now available in Amazon Bedrock

Today AWS announces Amazon Nova 2, our next generation of general models that deliver reasoning capabilities with industry-leading price performance. The new models available today in Amazon Bedrock are:

• Amazon Nova 2 Lite, a fast, cost-effective reasoning model for everyday workloads.

• Amazon Nova 2 Pro (Preview), our most intelligent model for highly complex, multistep tasks.

Amazon Nova 2 Lite and Amazon Nova 2 Pro (Preview) offer significant advancements over our previous generation models. These models support extended thinking with step-by-step reasoning and task decomposition and include three thinking intensity levels—low, medium, and high—giving developers control over the balance of speed, intelligence, and cost. The models also offer built-in tools such as code interpreter and web grounding, support remote MCP tools, and provide a one-million-token context window for richer interactions.

Nova 2 Lite can be used for a broad range of your everyday tasks. It offers the best combination of price, performance, and speed. Early customers are using Nova 2 Lite for customer service chatbots, document processing, and business process automation. Nova 2 Lite can be customized using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, and full fine-tuning is available on Amazon SageMaker. Amazon Nova 2 Pro (Preview) can be used for highly complex agentic tasks such as multi-document analysis, video reasoning, and software migrations.

Amazon Nova 2 Lite and Nova 2 Pro (Preview) is now available in Amazon Bedrock via global cross region inference in multiple locations. Nova 2 Pro is in preview with early access available to all Amazon Nova Forge customers. If interested, reach out to your AWS account team regarding access.
