Amazon Debuts Powerful AI Model, Nova Premier - Amazon launched Nova Premier, its latest AI model, through Amazon Bedrock. Nova Premier can process text, images, and videos, excelling in complex tasks and knowledge retrieval but lags behind rivals in coding and math benchmarks. It is priced at $2.50 per million input tokens and $12.50 per million output tokens, aimed at teaching smaller models via distillation.
Nova Premier is not a reasoning model, contrasting with competitors like OpenAI's o4-mini. Amazon emphasizes AI's role in its growth strategy, noting significant gains in its generative AI applications.
