Nova Lite is Amazon's lightweight general-purpose model, positioned between the minimal Nova Micro and the more capable Nova Pro. It handles a broader range of text tasks — summarization, content generation, translation, moderate Q&A — while maintaining the cost efficiency and AWS-native integration that defines the Nova family.
For teams building on AWS, Nova Lite offers the sweet spot between capability and cost for everyday AI features. It's robust enough for customer-facing applications but lean enough to keep per-request costs manageable at scale.
