Nova 2 arrives with an early-checkpoint customization path
AWS released Nova 2 Lite in Bedrock, previewed Nova 2 Pro, and launched Nova Forge. Forge lets customers start from pre-, mid- or post-training checkpoints, mix proprietary data with Amazon-curated data, train in SageMaker and import the result into Bedrock.
Why it matters: Enterprise model customization is moving earlier than fine-tuning, giving teams more control over domain knowledge while keeping a managed training and serving path.
