About Nova Pro
Nova Pro launched on December 3, 2024 as the accuracy-focused tier in Amazon's first Nova generation. Its purpose is clear: deliver the highest accuracy the first-generation architecture can achieve, particularly on structured and complex inputs where cheaper models produce unreliable results.
The accuracy advantage shows most clearly in three categories.
First, structured documents. Financial reports with dense tabular data, legal contracts with nested conditional clauses, and regulatory filings where a single misinterpreted figure cascades into downstream errors. Nova Pro parses tables correctly, maintains numerical consistency across a long context, and distinguishes between semantically similar but legally distinct phrasings.
Second, large codebases. Nova Pro reasons over up to 15,000 lines of code in a single request. Entire modules can be evaluated in context for automated code review, migration analysis, and refactoring assessments. The model tracks variable state, identifies subtle logic errors, and assesses architectural patterns across files.
Third, combined visual and textual evidence. An insurance platform can analyze a policy document alongside claim photos. A manufacturing quality system can compare product specs against inspection images. Nova Pro accepts text, images, and video in the same request. Its accuracy advantage over Nova Lite is most pronounced when visual content contains structured information (charts, schematics, annotated diagrams) that requires precise interpretation.
What To Consider When Choosing a Provider
- Configuration: Nova Pro is the top input rate in the first-generation Nova lineup on AI Gateway. Watch the AI Gateway cost dashboard so Pro spend matches the error cost you avoid.
- Zero Data Retention: AI Gateway supports Zero Data Retention for this model via direct gateway requests (BYOK is not included). To configure this, check the documentation.
- Authentication: AI Gateway authenticates requests using an API key or OIDC token. You do not need to manage provider credentials directly.
When to Use Nova Pro
Best For
- Financial document processing: Precision on tables, figures, and numerical data is non-negotiable
- Automated code review: Migration analysis for codebases up to 15,000 lines per request
- Multi-document reasoning: Compare contracts, cross-reference reports, and validate data against documentation
- Regulated industry analysis: Combined visual and textual analysis in insurance, healthcare, and legal workflows
Consider Alternatives When
- Routine classification or extraction: Nova Lite handles multimodal inputs at a fraction of the cost when Pro-level accuracy isn't required
- Extended thinking or web grounding: Nova 2 Lite provides second-generation agentic and reasoning capabilities
- Text-only workloads: Nova Micro is significantly cheaper and faster for pure text processing
Conclusion
Nova Pro is for requests where a wrong answer costs more than the extra per-token spend. It targets structured documents, large codebases, and complex multimodal inputs within the first-generation Nova lineup. Route your hardest problems here and send the rest to cheaper models.
