Amazon Nova 2 Lite

Amazon Bedrock now enables fine-tuning of Amazon Nova models using supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), and model distillation. The service automates infrastructure provisioning and training orchestration, requiring only data upload to S3 and a single API call. Fine-tuned models run on-demand at standard inference pricing without provisioned capacity requirements.

Amazon Nova 2 Lite expands context window to 1 million tokens, introduces extended thinking with developer controls, and adds native tool use and web grounding. AWS claims Nova 2 Lite surpasses Nova 1 Pro on multi-step reasoning while costing 7x less and running up to 5x faster.
