The verdict
These two models don't yet share verified results on the benchmarks we track, so judge them on specs, pricing and intended use. On price the gap is dramatic: Amazon Nova Pro works out roughly 3.1x cheaper per blended million tokens. Amazon Nova Pro also takes 300K of context versus 262K for Command A. And Command A is open-weights (CC-BY-NC 4.0), so it can be self-hosted — a structural advantage if data control or vendor independence matters.
