Capabilities, design details, and architectural traits
Nova Premier 1.0 - Flagship foundation model
Nova Premier 1.0 is Amazon’s most capable multimodal foundation model, positioned as a teacher for model distillation and for complex reasoning across long, multi-modal inputs.
Defining Characteristics
- 1 million-token context window: Amazon documents a 1M-token context that can hold large codebases, long documents, and long videos in a single prompt.
- Multimodal inputs: The model processes text, images, and videos, making it the broadest Nova model in the family for visual and document-heavy workflows.
- Teacher for distillation: AWS explicitly positions Nova Premier as the model used to create customized variants of Nova Pro, Lite, and Micro via distillation.
- Tool and agent support: Official and provider documentation list tool use, function calling, and agentic AI support as core capabilities..
