AWS debuts Nova Forge, a service for building proprietary frontier‑grade LLMs on enterprise data
Summary
Amazon Web Services announced Nova Forge, a new service that lets enterprises blend their proprietary data with AWS‑curated corpora at different checkpoints in a frontier model’s training process, producing custom LLMs that internalize business logic rather than relying solely on RAG or fine‑tuning. The subscription‑priced service is positioned as an "AI factory" play that tightly couples Trainium hardware, SageMaker, and Bedrock, offering a path to high‑precision domain models for regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, industrial control, and large‑scale code assistants.
