🚀 Amazon Unveils Nova: Its Most Powerful AI Model Yet for Complex Tasks and Teaching Other Models

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has just introduced Amazon Nova, its most advanced foundation model to date—designed to excel at complex reasoning, instruction-following, and even teaching other models through distillation.
