Amazon has launched Nova, a highly competitive family of foundation models. Nova Pro, Lite and Flash set new standards for the intelligence that can be accessed at the price and speed these models are offered at. Nova Pro, the flagship model, ranks amongst the leading frontier models in the Artificial Analysis Quality Index. With a score of 75, Pro ranks higher than GPT-4o (November release), Mistral Large 2 and Llama 3.1 405B. Access is priced competitively at $0.8/1M Input tokens and $3.2/1M output tokens, ~1/3 the cost of GPT-4o ($2.5/$10). Nova Lite and Micro are smaller and faster models that offer competitive intelligence for their price class. Micro can be accessed at 157 output tokens/s, faster than Gemini 1.5 Flash, Llama 3.1 8B (median of providers) and GPT-4o mini. Lite and Micro are competitively priced at $0.06 and $0.1 per 1M tokens respectively (blended 3:1, input:output) positioning them well for speed and/or price-sensitive use-cases. See below for deep dives on the performance and capabilities of these models.
