Nova Premier 1.0 model profile
Evidence snapshot:
Nova Premier 1.0 is a Amazon model profile with a 1,000,000-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text, image modalities and interfaces for prompt caching, text generation, tool calling, vision.
Amazon Nova Premier is the most capable of Amazon’s multimodal models for complex reasoning tasks and for use as the best teacher for distilling custom models.
Nova Premier 1.0 is a reference profile: Amazon publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
Nova Premier 1.0 is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.
Nova Premier 1.0 accepts text and image and returns text. The snapshot records prompt caching, text generation, tool calling, and vision as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $2.5 input and $12.5 output per million tokens. Cached input is $0.625 per million tokens.
The 2026-09-06 snapshot includes 1 Design Arena category. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable.
No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.
Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.

When to pick Nova Premier 1.0
Nova Premier 1.0 is a reference profile: Amazon publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.
- Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described.
- Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
- Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr.
- Look elsewhere when the work does not justify the rate. At $2.5 in and $12.5 out per 1M tokens, this is in the most expensive tenth of the 146 models publishing both rates. Route routine or high-volume traffic to a cheaper model and keep this one for work that needs it.
