    Nova Lite FAQ

    How much does Nova Lite cost per million tokens?

    As of August 21, 2026, Nova Lite Amazon API pricing is $0.06 per million input tokens and $0.24 per million output tokens. Input tokens are the prompt you send; output tokens are the completion. Long answers therefore cost more than short ones even when the prompt stays the same. Source: https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing

    What is the blended API cost for Nova Lite?

    On this page the blended Nova Lite API cost is $0.30 for 1 million input tokens plus 1 million output tokens. That 1:1 mix is the comparison scale used across the LLM pricing table. A 3:1 mix (three million input tokens per one million output tokens), which some calculators use, would be about $0.42.

    How much does a typical Nova Lite request cost?

    A typical Nova Lite API request with 100K input tokens and 20K output tokens costs about $0.01 at current rates as of August 21, 2026. Multiply that by daily or monthly volume to estimate spend. Caching, batch APIs, and volume discounts from Amazon can bring the real invoice lower than the public list rate at https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing.

    What is the context window for Nova Lite?

    Nova Lite supports a 300K token context window and can generate up to 2K output tokens per request. The context window is the total prompt plus conversation history the model can see in one call. Larger windows cost more when you fill them, because every input token is billed per million tokens.

    Is Nova Lite open source?

    No. Nova Lite is a proprietary model by Amazon. The only public way to call it is Amazon's API, billed per million input and output tokens. There is no self-host option for the weights.

    What benchmarks does Nova Lite perform well on?

    Nova Lite currently reports HLE 3.6%, GPQA 42%, IFEval 89.7%. See the performance table for the full eval set. Use those scores with the token prices above when you are choosing between a cheaper LLM and a frontier model. GPQA, SWE-bench, and HLE are the evals people usually compare first.

    Is Nova Lite good for coding?

    Nova Lite scores 85.4% on HumanEval. Pair that score with Amazon API pricing on this page: a slightly worse SWE-bench model can still win if it is much cheaper per million tokens. Open the SWE-bench or coding leaderboard from the sidebar for the full ranking, then jump into an LLM comparison against a coding specialist.

    How do I compare Nova Lite with another LLM?

    Use the Compare picker on this page to start an LLM comparison. Search by model or provider, pick a second model, and AnotherWrapper opens a dedicated Nova Lite vs page with per-million-token prices, blended 1M-in / 1M-out cost, context window, throughput, and benchmarks. You can also open any model from the sidebar, or go back to the LLM pricing table to sort the full index.

    What are the cheapest alternatives to Nova Lite?

    The cheapest LLM alternative depends on whether you optimize for blended token cost, coding evals, or context window. Start with the popular matchups on this page, then sort the LLM pricing table by blended cost to see which hosted APIs undercut Nova Lite. Open-weight models can be cheaper still if you self-host, but that is not the same as Amazon API pricing on this page.

    How do I use Nova Lite in my application?

    Nova Lite is called through Amazon's API with an API key. Bill against input and output tokens separately; cache or shorten prompts if spend is high. If you are shipping a full product, AnotherWrapper includes pre-built API routes and templates for Amazon and 5+ other providers with auth, payments, and deployment already configured.

    How accurate is this Nova Lite pricing data?

    This Nova Lite page tracks the latest published Amazon API pricing from Amazon, quoted per million tokens. List rates can differ from invoices because of prompt caching, batch discounts, committed-use tiers, and private contracts. Official rate sheet: https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing. Benchmark scores come from official publications and independent evals, not from a private lab run by AnotherWrapper.

    How fast is Nova Lite?

    Nova Lite has a measured throughput of about 100 tokens per second (tok/s). Throughput is how fast completions stream once the model starts generating; time-to-first-token can still lag under load. Faster APIs matter when you are building chat or agents, even if the per-million-token price is the same.

    About Nova Lite API pricing
