AWS explained in a machine learning blog that they built a two-model pipeline on Amazon Bedrock to digitize scanned yearbook pages. First, Amazon Nova 2 Lite handles native multimodal extraction in a single call: detecting photos, extracting names with coordinates, and returning page-level metadata. Then, Claude Sonnet 4.6 performs spatial reasoning based on page layout to match names with faces. This division of labor lets each model handle what it does best, achieving cost optimization.
