Amazon own models sit under the Nova name: Micro, Lite, Pro and Premier for text, plus Sonic variants for speech. Nova 2 Lite is priced at $0.30 input and $2.50 output per 1M tokens, with the rest of the range spanning above and below it.

The reason to pick Nova is rarely the model itself — it is Bedrock. If your infrastructure, billing and compliance already run through AWS, staying inside that boundary removes a vendor review, a procurement cycle and a separate data-processing agreement.

Inside AWSBilling, IAM and compliance stay where they already are.
