Our Recommendation
Amazon Nova 2 Lite is the new standard recommendation for AWS-native enterprises: 1M context, built-in tools, and EU availability. For embeddings, Nova Multimodal Embedding is the top choice. The Titan models remain usable, but for new projects we recommend migrating to Nova.
For highest text quality, we recommend Claude via AWS Bedrock; for self-hosting, Llama via SageMaker.
We support you in selecting and integrating the optimal Bedrock models for your requirements.
