5 models built

Amazon entered the foundation model business through AWS, and its Nova lineup is built around Amazon Bedrock rather than a standalone API product. The company (Amazon.com, Inc., founded 1994, US) offers five Nova models on OpenKey, ranging from a text-only micro model to a premier tier with a 1,000,000-token context window. The strategy is clear: cover the range from cheap, high-volume text tasks up through multimodal work (text, image, file, and video input) at a flagship price point. Nova Premier 1.0 and Nova Pro 1.0 both show up in design_arena website benchmarks, ranked 108 (elo 878) and 111 (elo 839) respectively, giving some independent signal on where they land competitively.

Lineup

For cheap, high-throughput text tasks, Nova Micro 1.0 is the one to reach for at $0.035/$0.14 per million input/output tokens — on OpenKey that's $0.03605/$0.1442 after the flat 3% fee ($0.035 x 1.03 and $0.14 x 1.03). Nova Lite 1.0 ($0.06/$0.24) adds image input and a 300,000-token context window for not much more. If you need the largest context or top-end multimodal reasoning (image, file, video), go with Nova 2 Lite ($0.30/$2.50, 1M context) or Nova Premier 1.0 ($2.50/$12.50, 1M context), Amazon's most capable and most expensive model in this lineup. Nova Pro 1.0 ($0.80/$3.20) sits in between as a multimodal option with benchmark results to back it up.
