Nova 2 came out today so not clear how good it is yet, but Nova 1 was entirely uncompetitive.

Supposedly competitive with Haiku 4.5, GPT 5 Mini and Gemini 2.5 Flash: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/introducing-amazon-nova-2-l...

Looks less "intelligent" to me, just a lot more trained on agentic (multi-turn tool) use so it greatly outperforms the others on the benches where that helps while lagging elsewhere. They also released bigger models, where "Pro" is supposedly competitive with 4.5 Sonnet. Lite is priced the same as 2.5 Flash, Pro as GPT 5.1. We'll definitely do some comparative testing on Nova 2 Lite vs 2.5 Flash, but not expecting much.

Claude 2.0 was laughably bad. I remember wondering why any investor would be funding them to compete against OpenAI. Today I cancelled my ChatGPT Pro because Claude Max does everything I need it to.
