Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track Amazon Nova 2 Lite, but no weighted text-model benchmark result is published on the site yet. This page shows the metadata and separate protocol evidence we can verify now; a BenchLM score will appear only if compatible public evaluations land.
Amazon Nova 2 Lite is a proprietary model with a 1M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Generally available on Amazon Bedrock since December 2, 2025 with text, image, video, and document input, extended thinking at three intensity levels, built-in web grounding and code interpreter, a 1M-token context, and 65,536-token maximum output.
AWS describes Nova 2 Lite as equal or better than Claude Haiku 4.5 on 13 of 15 benchmarks, GPT-5 Mini on 11 of 17, and Gemini 2.5 Flash on 14 of 18, but publishes the per-benchmark values only in the Nova 2 technical report, which BenchLM could not retrieve for exact-value verification. No scored rows are stored and the row stays unranked until those values are attached.
Amazon Nova 2 Lite sits in the Amazon Nova 2 family with Amazon Nova 2 Pro. Its explicit predecessor is Nova Pro. The profile has no source-displayable benchmark row yet.

Questions
How does Amazon Nova 2 Lite perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Amazon Nova 2 Lite does not have any source-displayable benchmark rows yet, so this profile does not assign a public score or rank. Documented specifications remain visible, while score-led charts and claims stay unavailable until a published evaluation can be attached to the exact model.
Which sibling models are related to Amazon Nova 2 Lite?
Amazon Nova 2 Lite belongs to the Amazon Nova 2 family. Related tracked variants include Amazon Nova 2 Pro. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.
Does Amazon Nova 2 Lite have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. Amazon Nova 2 Lite currently has 0 source-displayable rows across 495 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of Amazon Nova 2 Lite?
Amazon Nova 2 Lite has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
