Nova 2.0 Lite (medium)
Analysis Summary
Nova 2.0 Lite (medium) is Amazon's mid-compute Nova 2.0 Lite variant, with an intelligence index of 19.0 and the highest agentic index in the Lite family at 46.6. Its math index of 88.7 and AIME25 of 88.7% confirm strong quantitative capability, and livecodebench of 66.3% reflects solid coding performance. IFBench of 68.5% and LCR of 58.3% are among the stronger instruction-following scores in this batch.
For businesses, this model is well-suited to agentic automation, structured content pipelines, and math-intensive workflows where a balance of cost and capability is needed. Its tau2 of 75.7% and terminal bench of 17.4% suggest reliable multi-step task handling. The intelligence index of 19.0 means it will not match frontier models on open-ended complex reasoning.
At $0.30 input and $2.50 output per million tokens, it offers strong value for agentic and structured automation use cases. Teams on AWS infrastructure looking for a capable, cost-effective model for rule-bound or math-heavy pipelines should consider this variant alongside the high-compute Lite option.
