What Palmyra X5 is good for

editorial

Palmyra X5, with no token price published by AWS. Callable in 4 of 31 regions.

Suits

  • Nothing specific stands out from the published capabilities.

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.
  • Function calling. No tool use, so it cannot drive an agent loop or call your APIs — it answers from what is in the prompt.
  • Documents with layout. Text only. Scanned PDFs, screenshots and charts need a vision model or an OCR step first.
  • Invocation. Reachable only through a cross-region inference profile — calling the bare model ID returns a validation error. Use an ID such as us.writer.palmyra-x5-v1:0.

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

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 (1)

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.

Pricing by region

No published token pricing

The AWS Price List API publishes no token SKU for this model, and it is not in our curated overlay. This is common for embedding, image and video models, which bill per request or per second rather than per token.
