Model & inference profile IDs
Base model ID — direct on-demand invoke
Cross-region inference profiles (4)
Regions marked Inference profile only require a profile ID rather than the base model ID — invoking the base ID there returns a validation error. Regional (us., eu.) profiles carry a 10% premium over global.

Nova Lite compared
Common questions
- How much does Nova Lite cost on Amazon Bedrock?
- $0.060 per 1M input tokens and $0.240 per 1M output tokens in us-east-1. Cached input reads at $0.015, roughly a tenth of the input rate, which dominates the bill on agentic workloads that re-send a long prefix.
- Which AWS regions support Nova Lite?
- 14 of 16 regions: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2, ca-central-1, eu-west-1, eu-west-2, eu-west-3, eu-central-1, eu-north-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-northeast-1, ap-northeast-2, ap-south-1. Regions marked profile-only need a cross-region inference profile ID such as apac.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0 rather than the bare model ID.
- What is the context window of Nova Lite?
- 300,000 tokens (300K).
- What is the model ID for Nova Lite on Bedrock?
- amazon.nova-lite-v1:0. In regions where it is only reachable through a cross-region inference profile, use a prefixed ID instead: apac.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0, ca.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0, eu.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0.
