Nova 2 Lite is a second-generation multimodal reasoning model with a context window of 1M tokens. It supports configurable extended thinking, web grounding, and code execution at a cost tier built for everyday production use.
import { streamText } from 'ai'
const result = streamText({ model: 'amazon/nova-2-lite', prompt: 'Why is the sky blue?'})Nova 2 Lite is the cost-focused model in Amazon's second-generation Nova family. The context window moves from 300K tokens on first-gen Nova Lite and Nova Pro up to 1M tokens. Extended thinking lets the model run deliberate multi-step reasoning before it answers. You set it to low, medium, or high. It stays off by default when you don't need it.
Amazon pairs Nova 2 Lite and Nova 2 Pro with built-in web grounding and code execution: the model can pull current public information and run code so answers stay tied to fresh data, not only to training cutoffs.
Inputs include text, images, video, and documents (including PDFs) within the window of 1M tokens. That covers long documents with images, video with transcripts, and similar mixed workloads that first-generation Nova models handle with tighter limits.
