What Nova Pro is good for
editorialNova Pro offers a 300K-token context window with tool use and prompt caching, at the premium end of this provider’s range at $0.800 per 1M input tokens. Callable in 22 of 31 regions.
Suits
- Long documents. 300K tokens covers long documents and multi-file context without splitting them.
- Repeated prompts. Supports prompt caching, so a re-sent prefix costs about 4× less than fresh input. On agentic loops that resend a long system prompt every step, this moves the bill more than the headline price does.
- Tool use. Can call functions, so it can drive retrieval, look things up, and take actions rather than only answering.
- Images. Accepts image input: screenshots, scanned documents, charts and UI captures.
- Bulk jobs. Batch inference is available, typically at half the on-demand rate, for work that can wait — backfills, nightly enrichment, evaluation runs.
Think twice if
- High volume. At $0.800 per 1M input tokens it sits at the expensive end of the Amazon range. Worth it for hard tasks, wasteful for bulk extraction.
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.
Where teams typically use it
Chat and assistants
Conversational work where responsiveness matters as much as depth.
- · A customer-facing assistant where the first token needs to appear in under a second.
- · An in-product copilot that explains what the user is looking at and answers follow-ups.
- · A triage bot that qualifies an incoming request before routing it to the right team.
RAG and retrieval
Answering from your own documents, with the retrieved passages in the prompt.
- · An internal search over contracts and policies that quotes the clause it answered from.
- · A product assistant grounded in the current documentation rather than the training data.
- · A research summariser that reads twenty retrieved papers and reconciles where they disagree.
Model & inference profile IDs
Base model ID — direct on-demand invoke
Cross-region inference profiles (3)
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.

TPM / RPM are default account quotas from AWS Service Quotas where a model-specific limit is published. They are per-account defaults and adjustable on request.
Where this model actually runs
Under a strict residency constraint, Nova Pro can be served without the request leaving 5 of the 25 jurisdictions with a Bedrock region.

Common questions
- How much does Nova Pro cost on Amazon Bedrock?
- $0.800 per 1M input tokens and $3.20 per 1M output tokens in us-east-1. Cached input reads at $0.200, 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 Pro?
- 22 of 31 regions: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1, eu-west-2, eu-west-3, eu-central-1, eu-north-1, eu-south-1, eu-south-2, ap-east-2, ap-northeast-1, ap-northeast-2, ap-south-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-southeast-3, ap-southeast-4, ap-southeast-5, ap-southeast-7, il-central-1. Regions marked profile-only need a cross-region inference profile ID such as apac.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0 rather than the bare model ID.
- What is the context window of Nova Pro?
- 300,000 tokens (300K).
- What is the model ID for Nova Pro on Bedrock?
- amazon.nova-pro-v1:0. In regions where it is only reachable through a cross-region inference profile, use a prefixed ID instead: apac.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0, eu.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0, us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0.
