Amazon scales back Nova work and reorganizes AI teams
What happened
An October 28 report says Amazon is scaling back investment in most Nova models and reorganizing its AI teams to concentrate resources on high-priority goals, a week after closing an 80-person San Francisco office focused on AGI research. Bloomberg, citing insiders, said most text, video and image generation models still get support but only the minimum resources needed to keep running, with staff and compute moving to a frontier model project led by Pieter Abbeel. The change cuts investment in most models rather than ending support for Nova entirely.
