Amazon: Nova Micro 1.0

Nova Micro 1.0 is a text-only model from Amazon with a 128,000-token context window and a 5,120-token output cap. It supports tool use but does not offer reasoning mode, and structured output support is unconfirmed. Because it accepts only text input, use cases involving images, audio, or documents will require a different model. At $0.035 per million input tokens and $0.14 per million output tokens, it sits at the cheaper end of the market, making it worth considering for high-volume text tasks like summarization, classification, or simple tool-calling pipelines where cost control matters. The tradeoff is uncertainty: there is currently no independent benchmark coverage, so quality comparisons against competing models at similar price points cannot be made from public data. Buyers who need validated performance before committing should treat it as unproven until that coverage appears.
