What Nova 2.5 Sonic is good for

editorial

Nova 2.5 Sonic offers a 256K-token context window with tool use at $0.319 per 1M input tokens. Callable in 4 of 31 regions.

Suits

  • Long documents. 256K tokens covers long documents and multi-file context without splitting them.
  • Tool use. Can call functions, so it can drive retrieval, look things up, and take actions rather than only answering.

Think twice if

  • Agentic loops. No prompt caching published, so every step re-pays full price for the prompt prefix. Expensive for agents that resend a long context.
  • Documents with layout. Text only. Scanned PDFs, screenshots and charts need a vision model or an OCR step first.

This section is judgement, not data from AWS. It is composed from the capabilities, context window, price position and region coverage shown elsewhere on this page — so it stays in step with the daily snapshot rather than going stale.
