We present Amazon Nova, a new generation of state-of-the-art foundation models that deliver frontier intelligence and industry-leading price performance. Amazon Nova Pro is a highly-capable multimodal model with the best combination of accuracy, speed, and cost for a wide range of tasks. Amazon Nova Lite is a low-cost multimodal model that is lightning fast for processing images, video, documents and text. Amazon Nova Micro is a text-only model that delivers our lowest-latency responses at very low cost. Amazon Nova Canvas is an image generation model that creates professional grade images with rich customization controls. Amazon Nova Reel is a video generation model offering high-quality outputs, customization, and motion control. Our models were built responsibly and with a commitment to customer trust, security, and reliability. We report benchmarking results for core capabilities, agentic performance, long context, functional adaptation, runtime performance, and human evaluation.

Malaria is a disease of global concern according to the World Health Organization. Billions of people in the world are at risk of Malaria today. Microscopy is considered the gold standard for Malaria diagnosis. Microscopic assessment of blood samples requires the need of trained professionals who at times are not available in rural areas where Malaria is a problem. Full automation of Malaria diagnosis is a challenging task. In this work, we put forward a framework for diagnosis of malaria. We adopt a two layer approach, where we detect infected cells using a Faster-RCNN in the first layer, crop them out, and feed the cropped cells to a seperate neural network for classification. The proposed methodology was tested on an openly available dataset, this will serve as a baseline for the future methods as currently there is no common dataset on which results are reported for Malaria Diagnosis.
