Amazon Nova Pro

Amazon·Dec 2024proprietary

Amazon Nova Pro is the capable middle tier of AWS's first-party model family. It rarely tops capability leaderboards, but that misses its appeal: native Bedrock integration, AWS-consolidated billing and compliance, video understanding, and low prices make it the path of least resistance for organizations standardized on AWS. For straightforward enterprise document and media workloads it is often good enough, and procurement-friendly.
