This model is deprecated. We only continue performance benchmarking for the default 10k input token workload. Results for other workloads are historical and no longer updated.
Amazon has launched a newer release, Nova 2.0 Pro Preview. We suggest considering it instead.
Nova Pro Intelligence, Performance & Price Analysis
Model summary
Verbosity
Nova Pro is among the least intelligent models, but well priced when comparing to other non-reasoning models of similar price. The model supports text, image, and video input, outputs text, and has a 300k tokens context window.
Nova Pro scores 7 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, placing it at the lower end among comparable models (median: 16).
Pricing for Nova Pro is $0.80 per 1M input tokens (competitively priced, median: $2.00) and $3.20 per 1M output tokens (competitively priced, median: $10.00).
At 130 tokens per second, Nova Pro is notably fast (73).

Metrics are compared against models of the same class:
- Non-reasoning models → compared only with other non-reasoning models
- Reasoning models → compared across both reasoning and non-reasoning
- Open weights models → compared only with other open weights models of the same size class:
- Tiny: ≤4B parameters
- Small: 4B–40B parameters
- Medium: 40B–150B parameters
- Large: >150B parameters
- Proprietary models → compared across proprietary and open weights models of the same price range, using a blended 3:1 input/output price ratio:
- <$0.15 per 1M tokens
- $0.15–$1 per 1M tokens
- >$1 per 1M tokens

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Nova Pro
Nova Pro was released on December 3, 2024.
Nova Pro was created by Amazon.
Nova Pro scores 7 (estimated) on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, placing it at the lower end among other non-reasoning models in a similar price tier (median: 16).
Nova Pro generates output at 129.8 tokens per second (based on Amazon's API), which is well above average compared to other non-reasoning models in a similar price tier (median: 73.2 t/s).
Nova Pro has a time to first token (TTFT) of 1.09s (based on Amazon's API), which is better than average compared to other non-reasoning models in a similar price tier (median: 1.12s).
Nova Pro costs $0.80 per 1M input tokens (very competitive, median: $2.00) and $3.20 per 1M output tokens (very competitive, median: $10.00), based on Amazon's API.
Nova Pro costs $0.80 per 1M input tokens and $3.20 per 1M output tokens (based on Amazon's API). For a blended rate (7:2:1 cache hit/input/output ratio), this is $0.62 per 1M tokens. Pricing may vary by provider. Compare provider pricing
No, Nova Pro is not a reasoning model. It provides direct responses without extended chain-of-thought reasoning.
Nova Pro supports text, image, and video input.
Nova Pro supports text output.
Yes, Nova Pro supports image input and can analyze, describe, and answer questions about images.
Yes, Nova Pro is multimodal. It can process text, image, and video input and generate text output.
Nova Pro has a context window of 300k tokens. This determines how much text and conversation history the model can process in a single request.
No, Nova Pro is proprietary. The model weights are not publicly available.
Nova Pro is a proprietary model and Amazon has not disclosed the model size or parameter count.
