Amazon Nova Premier

Most capable Nova 1 model: complex reasoning, agentic workflows, model distillation. Reasoning supported. 1M-token context, 25K max output. Model card states lifecycle = 'Legacy' and 'Model EOL date: September 14, 2026'; the row is held at 'deprecated' (= Legacy), which is what AWS declares. Until 2026-09-15 this note read that EOL date as a firm retirement — that reading did not survive the date. Re-read first-hand on 2026-09-15, the day AFTER the stated EOL: the card still said 'Model lifecycle: Legacy' and still carried the same EOL date, so the status stayed 'deprecated'; the signal used then was the card's own lifecycle field, and a shutdown date that has merely passed is not a retirement signal on its own. The same card also stated 'EOL no sooner than: Oct 31, 2026' beside 'Model EOL date: September 14, 2026' — two first-party fields that contradicted each other; both are recorded verbatim here and neither is resolved into our typed fields. OBSERVED 2026-10-06: the Bedrock model card URL (bedrock/latest/userguide/model-card-amazon-nova-premier.html, this row's source_url until today) now 302-redirects to the Bedrock user-guide root, and Nova Premier is absent from Bedrock's 'Models at a glance' page while Nova Pro, Lite, Micro and 2 Lite are listed there and their cards still resolve. The Nova user guide (what-is-nova.html, now this row's source_url) still lists Nova Premier as an understanding model with model ID amazon.nova-premier-v1:0 and inference profile us.amazon.nova-premier-v1:0, and the us-east-1 Price List book published 2026-10-05T21:04Z still carries 28 Nova Premier SKUs at exactly the rates this row holds. The lifecycle statements ('Legacy', the EOL dates) are no longer published anywhere we can find: a deleted page is an absence, not a declaration, so the status stays 'deprecated' and the signal used today is 'still priced in the current book + still listed by the Nova guide', not the vanished card. NOTE: model card shows 'Model launch date: Oct 31, 2025' which conflicts with the public GA of Nova Premier (Apr/May 2025); the Oct 31 2025 date may reflect a card/version update rather than original GA — flagged as uncertain. Only us. geo inference ID (us.amazon.nova-premier-v1:0). The Price List API (us-east-1, 2026-09-11 book) publishes the rates per 1K tokens as $0.0025/1K input, $0.0125/1K output and $0.000625/1K cache read, which is exactly the $2.50 / $12.50 / $0.625 per 1M this row carries. That last sentence had been cut mid-word, immediately after the first per-1K figure, since the repo's initial import, which truncated this note at exactly 600 characters; the tail is restored from the Price List API, not reconstructed.
