Amazon: Nova Premier 1.0
Amazon Nova Premier 1.0 offers a massive 1M token context window and multimodal support, but its benchmark scores across reasoning, coding, and math are modest relative to its premium pricing of $2.5/$12.5 per million tokens. It may suit specific AWS-integrated workflows requiring very long context, but is not competitive on raw capability at this price.
