Amazon Nova Pro vs Falcon-H1R 7B

Amazon · US  |  Technology Innovation Institute · UAE · Updated June 2026

Quick verdict

Pick Amazon Nova Pro for multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20 or deep aws and bedrock integration for enterprise pipelines. Pick Falcon-H1R 7B for tii says it outperforms models up to 7x its size (32b-47b class) on math/logic benchmarks, scoring 83.1% on aime 2025 (tii's own figures) or a hybrid transformer + mamba2 'high-density reasoning' design at just 7b parameters. Choose Falcon-H1R 7B if you need self-hosting or data privacy; Amazon Nova Pro if you want a managed API.

Amazon Nova Pro (Amazon, US) and Falcon-H1R 7B (Technology Innovation Institute, UAE) line up two different AI ecosystems against each other — a comparison that is as much about cost philosophy and openness as raw capability. Amazon Nova Pro is amazon's multimodal Bedrock model at $0.80/$3.20 with a 300K window — an enterprise-integrated generalist, not a frontier model. Falcon-H1R 7B is tII's compact 7B reasoning model that claims to beat models many times its size on math and logic, fully open and free to self-host. They diverge most on price, context window and open vs. closed weights — each quantified below from the models' real specs.

Who wins what

Multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20

Amazon Nova Pro

Amazon Nova Pro lists multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20 among its strengths; Falcon-H1R 7B does not.

Deep AWS and Bedrock integration for enterprise pipelines

Amazon Nova Pro

Amazon Nova Pro lists deep AWS and Bedrock integration for enterprise pipelines among its strengths; Falcon-H1R 7B does not.

Balanced cost-to-capability for general business tasks

Amazon Nova Pro

Falcon-H1R 7B is comparatively weak here — a specialist reasoning/math model, not a general-purpose frontier assistant

TII says it outperforms models up to 7x its size (32B-47B class) on math/logic benchmarks, scoring 83.1% on AIME 2025 (TII's own figures)

Falcon-H1R 7B

TII's compact 7B reasoning model that claims to beat models many times its size on math and logic, fully open and free to self-host — and its weights are open while Amazon Nova Pro is API-only.

A hybrid Transformer + Mamba2 'high-density reasoning' design at just 7B parameters

Falcon-H1R 7B

Amazon Nova Pro is comparatively weak here — not a frontier reasoning or coding model against 2026 flagships

Native 256K context window despite its small size

Falcon-H1R 7B

TII's compact 7B reasoning model that claims to beat models many times its size on math and logic, fully open and free to self-host — and it is the newer of the two.

Lowest cost at scale

Falcon-H1R 7B

Its weights are open, so at volume you pay for your own hardware instead of Amazon Nova Pro's $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens.

Which should you pick?

A cost-sensitive startup shipping high volume

Falcon-H1R 7B

At Open weight (self-host / free) it undercuts Amazon Nova Pro, and on millions of tokens that margin decides the monthly bill.

Someone analysing very long documents or codebases

Amazon Nova Pro

Larger 300K window fits more in one prompt.

A team with data-privacy or self-hosting needs

Falcon-H1R 7B

Open weights let you run it on your own hardware; Amazon Nova Pro is API-only.

Anyone whose priority is multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20

Amazon Nova Pro

It is specifically built for that.

Anyone whose priority is tii says it outperforms models up to 7x its size (32b-47b class) on math/logic benchmarks, scoring 83.1% on aime 2025 (tii's own figures)

Falcon-H1R 7B

That is its strongest area.

An enterprise with regional data-residency rules

Amazon Nova Pro: where it fits

Amazon's multimodal Bedrock model at $0.80/$3.20 with a 300K window — an enterprise-integrated generalist, not a frontier model. Released December 5, 2024 by Amazon, it is built for multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20, deep AWS and Bedrock integration for enterprise pipelines, balanced cost-to-capability for general business tasks, and a 300K context for long documents and mixed media.

Its trade-offs are real: not a frontier reasoning or coding model against 2026 flagships, no published SWE-Bench Verified score, best value is realised inside the AWS ecosystem, and late-2024 model — older than most of the field here. At $0.8 in / $3.2 out per million tokens, it sits in the budget price band.

Falcon-H1R 7B: where it fits

TII's compact 7B reasoning model that claims to beat models many times its size on math and logic, fully open and free to self-host. Released January 5, 2026 by Technology Innovation Institute, it is built for tII says it outperforms models up to 7x its size (32B-47B class) on math/logic benchmarks, scoring 83.1% on AIME 2025 (TII's own figures), a hybrid Transformer + Mamba2 'high-density reasoning' design at just 7B parameters, native 256K context window despite its small size, and fully open under TII's permissive Falcon LLM License - free to self-host.

Its trade-offs: benchmark comparisons against much larger models are TII's own reported figures, not independently reproduced, a specialist reasoning/math model, not a general-purpose frontier assistant, and smaller ecosystem and less third-party tooling than mainstream open models like Llama or Qwen. As an open-weight model, its running cost is your own hardware rather than a per-token fee.

The bottom line for this matchup

The defining split here is open vs. closed. Falcon-H1R 7B gives you weights you control — self-host it, fine-tune it, keep data in-house, pay only for hardware. Amazon Nova Pro gives you a managed, always-updated API with no infrastructure to run. Teams with GPUs, privacy requirements, or huge volume often favour the open model; teams that want zero ops and the latest capabilities favour the closed one. Capability is close enough that this operational question, not the benchmark, usually decides it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Amazon Nova Pro or Falcon-H1R 7B better for coding?

Public SWE-Bench figures are not available for either model, so the honest test is your own repository — run an identical real bug through both. By design, Amazon Nova Pro leans toward multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20 while Falcon-H1R 7B leans toward tii says it outperforms models up to 7x its size (32b-47b class) on math/logic benchmarks, scoring 83.1% on aime 2025 (tii's own figures), and that positioning usually predicts which feels better on your codebase.

Which is cheaper, Amazon Nova Pro or Falcon-H1R 7B?

Falcon-H1R 7B is open-weight, so self-hosting means no per-token fee (you pay for hardware instead), while Amazon Nova Pro is API-metered at $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens. For most teams without GPUs, the API model is cheaper to start; at very high volume, self-hosting can win.

Which has the bigger context window?

Effectively neither — 300K vs 256K is a difference of a few percent. Remember advertised ≠ usable: recall typically degrades before the ceiling.

Can I use both Amazon Nova Pro and Falcon-H1R 7B together?

Yes — a multi-model platform like LumiChats gives you Amazon Nova Pro, Falcon-H1R 7B and 40+ others under one ₹69/day pass (about $1/day), so you can draft with one and cross-check with the other instead of buying two subscriptions.

Which is newer, Amazon Nova Pro or Falcon-H1R 7B?

Falcon-H1R 7B — released January 5, 2026, about 13 months after Amazon Nova Pro.
