Reinforcement fine-tuning for Amazon Nova: Teaching AI through feedback

In this post, we explore reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) for Amazon Nova models, which can be a powerful customization technique that learns through evaluation rather than imitation. We'll cover how RFT works, when to use it versus supervised fine-tuning, real-world applications from code generation to customer service, and implementation options ranging from fully managed Amazon Bedrock to multi-turn agentic workflows with Nova Forge. You'll also learn practical guidance on data preparation, reward function design, and best practices for achieving optimal results.

15 Practical AI Agent Examples to Scale Your Business in 2026

Explore 15 practical AI agent examples across industries and learn how businesses use AI agents to automate and scale workflows with n8n.

You don’t know what your agent will do until it’s in production

You can't monitor agents like traditional software. Inputs are infinite, behavior is non-deterministic, and quality lives in the conversations themselves. This article explains what to monitor, how to scale evaluation, and how production traces become the foundation for continuous improvement.

This post demonstrates how to quickly deploy a production-ready event assistant using the components of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. We'll build an intelligent companion that remembers attendee preferences and builds personalized experiences over time, while Amazon Bedrock AgentCore handles the heavy lifting of production deployment: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory for maintaining both conversation context and long-term preferences without custom storage solutions, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Identity for secure multi-IDP authentication, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime for serverless scaling and session isolation. We will also use Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases for managed RAG and event data retrieval.
