Who sells it
The same weights, different shops. Cheapest is not like-for-like when serving precision differs.
2 provider offers · rates, limits and conditions
Rates are USD per million tokens. Endpoint terms can differ even when the quoted price and precision match. A listed parameter is a provider declaration, not a task-success test.

Our take
editorial — not a measurementFor a Bedrock-based application, evaluate Nova using the actual region, endpoint and account terms you intend to use. An aggregator listing is not a quote for every Bedrock region, and difficulty retrieving a web table does not prove prices are unpublished. The accepted model supports several input modalities. Use the current proof for independent benchmark coverage.
Strengths
- Text, image, video and file input are listed
- Tools and reasoning support are recorded
Weaknesses
- Confirm region-specific offer conditions before estimating spend
- Do not infer a cache discount from an unlisted cache-read rate
Reach for it when
- Evaluations in an existing Bedrock deployment
- Multimodal workflows with explicitly selected endpoint terms
Avoid it if
- Your estimate mixes offers from different regions or sellers
- The choice is based only on ecosystem familiarity without task testing

The verdict as one SVG, for a README or a docs page. It states this model's dominance status at the balanced workload on the LMArena lens, with the date it was computed, and it is rebuilt with the catalogue — so it changes when the verdict changes, including to one you would rather it did not.
