Category score record
Scores and ranks appear only where published evidence can be displayed. The table keeps the score, weight, cohort, and evidence state together.

Coverage detailsHow much of this is verified
Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Benchmark ledger
Multimodal opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

All 1 rowsLineage
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 the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
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. 1 of 766 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Last updated October 25, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Where to run Amazon Nova 2 Lite by API
OpenRouter is the one host we track that publishes a per-token price for it. Prices read from each host’s own pages on October 20, 2026.
| Host | Input /1M | Output /1M | Cached /1M | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Questions
How does Amazon Nova 2 Lite perform overall in AI benchmarks?
Amazon Nova 2 Lite has 1 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is Amazon Nova 2 Lite good for multimodal and grounded tasks?
Amazon Nova 2 Lite has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
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 1 source-displayable rows. 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.
