Nova 2 Lite is Amazon's newest multimodal reasoning model, built for everyday automation, document processing, and customer support across text, images, video, and documents. It is a hybrid reasoning model with extended thinking that can be turned on or off, with adjustable budgets at low, medium, or high to balance speed, intelligence, and cost. Key differentiators include a one million-token context window for long documents and codebases, plus built-in web grounding that retrieves public information with citations and a code interpreter for running calculations within the same workflow. These integrated tools reduce the need for external orchestration, making it well suited to agentic applications, intelligent document processing, and business process automation. Nova 2 Lite handles step-by-step reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, video understanding with temporal analysis, reliable function calling, and UI interaction tasks. It understands and generates text in over 200 languages, with optimization for 15 including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, and Hebrew. Launched in December 2025, Nova 2 Lite is the latest in Amazon's family of cost-efficient foundation models, combining reasoning with multimodal flexibility for developers building reliable AI agents and automation systems.
