AWS Nova 2 user guide (fetched 19 Aug 2026): Nova 2 Lite is the production reasoning SKU with extended thinking and three-level intensity. Built-in tools named on that page are web grounding and a Python code interpreter. SFT and RFT are offered on Bedrock and SageMaker. Do not cite Nova 1 Lite/Pro/Premier specs as this card.

Should I use this for coding agents

Use Nova 2 Lite when you are already on Bedrock and want the current Nova 2 reasoning SKU for everyday multimodal work. OpenRouter lists tool_choice / tools / reasoning. That is not a DeepSWE row.

No independent row for this SKU

No independent board lists this exact SKU as of 2026-08-19.

No other card from this lab carries an independent board row either, so there is no sibling worth pointing at.

Boards checked: DeepSWE official (2026-08-13), Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, vals.ai hero index. Every card that does carry a row is on the coding leaderboard.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • No official DeepSWE, AA, or vals row fetched on 19 Aug 2026 (AA and vals 404). We will not invent a coding percent from the AWS marketing page.
  • Sibling: Nova Premier 1.0 is the older high SKU, not Nova 2. Do not treat Premier as this model, and do not scrape unrelated Bedrock $6 / $30 rows onto Nova 2 Lite.
  • Closed weights. Bedrock-shaped product, not a local checkpoint. Continuum does not host it. Bedrock on-demand HTML we saved is JS widgets ({priceOf!…}): no extractable Nova 2 Lite unit dollars. OpenRouter $0.30 / $2.50 is the sourced list.
  • Catalog max output is 65,535. Long agent traces that assume 128k+ completion will truncate.

Plus is $25/mo with $25 weekly hosted usage. The Mac app stays free with your own keys. Get Plus is not Download for Mac.

FAQ

Is this Nova Lite 1.0?

No. OpenRouter created-date for this slug is 2 Dec 2025 and the id is nova-2-lite-v1. Nova 1 Lite lives on the Nova 1 user guide. Mixing those tables is how fake context windows ship.

Why no coding chip?

DeepSWE (13 Aug 2026), Artificial Analysis, and vals.ai had no fetchable row for this SKU. Omitted, not invented.

Why no Bedrock $?

The Bedrock pricing HTML we saved is JS widgets. Inventing a unit price from a sibling SKU would be a fabricated invoice.

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.

OpenAI-compatible call

No Continuum hosted id is verified for this model, so this page does not invent a curl target. Use the first-party API or the OpenRouter slug amazon/nova-2-lite-v1.
