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.
