Amazon Nova foundation model

Amazon Nova Micro

Text-only Amazon Nova understanding model for the lowest-cost, lowest-latency text tasks through Amazon Bedrock.

When to use it

Mode

Exam fidelity: AWS lists multiple choice and multiple response for this exam. Ordering, matching, and case-study items are supplemental learning exercises; their results stay in overall study accuracy but do not count toward exam-style accuracy. Difficulty labels describe this site's scenario complexity, not an AWS-published question rating.
