About
Amazon Nova 2 Lite is a fast, cost-effective reasoning model for everyday workloads that processes text, images, and videos at 1M token context with improved reasoning over Nova Lite v1.
Amazon Nova 2 Lite is a proprietary model in the Amazon Nova family. The structured metadata tracks a 1m-token context window, multimodal input, reasoning, function calling, tool use, and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through Vercel AI Gateway, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $0.3 input and $2.5 output per 1M tokens. Headline tracked benchmarks include MMMU Pro 61.8.
