Amazon is winding down most of its Nova AI models to bet on one frontier model

SMRTR summary

Amazon is shutting down most of its Nova AI model lineup, including its Premier, Omni, video, and image generators, to focus resources on a single new frontier model under a group called Frontier Model Research. The shift follows leadership changes and lab closures in late 2025 and early 2026. The new flagship model is expected to debut at Amazon's re:Invent conference this autumn, and could still carry the Nova name.
