Amazon Nova Pro vs Gemini 3.1 Pro

Amazon · US  |  Google · US · 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 Gemini 3.1 Pro for full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1m-token window or long video and document analysis. On a tight budget at scale, Amazon Nova Pro is the value pick.

Amazon Nova Pro (Amazon) and Gemini 3.1 Pro (Google) are two of the models people most often weigh against each other in 2026. 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. Gemini 3.1 Pro is a 1M-token multimodal workhorse — huge breadth across text, image, audio and video, but recall fades deep in the window. They diverge most on price and context window — 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's multimodal Bedrock model at $0.80/$3.20 with a 300K window — an enterprise-integrated generalist, not a frontier model — and it runs cheaper at $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens.

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; Gemini 3.1 Pro does not.

Balanced cost-to-capability for general business tasks

Amazon Nova Pro

At $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens it undercuts Gemini 3.1 Pro ($2/$12 per 1M tokens), and that gap compounds at volume.

Full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1M-token window

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Its 1M window holds about 3.5× more than Amazon Nova Pro's 300K in a single prompt.

Long video and document analysis

Gemini 3.1 Pro

A 1M-token multimodal workhorse — huge breadth across text, image, audio and video, but recall fades deep in the window — and it carries the larger 1M context.

Agentic reasoning (high ARC-AGI-2)

Gemini 3.1 Pro

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

Lowest cost at scale

Amazon Nova Pro

At $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens, it is the cheaper of the two — the gap dominates the bill on high-volume workloads.

Largest single-prompt input

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Its 1M window is about 3.5× larger than Amazon Nova Pro's 300K, fitting roughly 1,573 pages in one prompt.

Which should you pick?

A cost-sensitive startup shipping high volume

Amazon Nova Pro

At $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens it undercuts Gemini 3.1 Pro, and on millions of tokens that margin decides the monthly bill.

Someone analysing very long documents or codebases

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Larger 1M window fits more in one prompt.

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 full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1m-token window

Gemini 3.1 Pro

That is its strongest area.

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.

Gemini 3.1 Pro: where it fits

A 1M-token multimodal workhorse — huge breadth across text, image, audio and video, but recall fades deep in the window. Released February 19, 2026 by Google, it is built for full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1M-token window, long video and document analysis, agentic reasoning (high ARC-AGI-2), and broad multimodal understanding across formats.

Its trade-offs: long-context recall drops sharply past 256K (26.3% on MRCR v2 at 1M), premium price per token at $2/$12, and superseded within Google's own line by the newer 3.5/3.6 Flash releases for cost-sensitive work. At $2 in / $12 out per million tokens, it sits in the mid price band.

The bottom line for this matchup

Amazon Nova Pro and Gemini 3.1 Pro overlap enough that the right pick depends on your specific job. Amazon Nova Pro costs less per token; Gemini 3.1 Pro holds the larger context; and each leads in its own area — Amazon Nova Pro for multimodal input across text, image and video at $0.80/$3.20, Gemini 3.1 Pro for full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1m-token window. Rather than crowning one, run the same hard task through both once and let the results decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is Amazon Nova Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro 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 Gemini 3.1 Pro leans toward full multimodal input — text, image, audio and video in one 1m-token window, and that positioning usually predicts which feels better on your codebase.

Which is cheaper, Amazon Nova Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro?

Amazon Nova Pro is cheaper — $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens vs $2/$12 per 1M tokens, roughly 2.5× apart on input.

Which has the bigger context window?

Gemini 3.1 Pro — 1M vs 300K, about 3.5× larger. Useful only if the model actually reasons over the full window, which not all do.

Can I use both Amazon Nova Pro and Gemini 3.1 Pro together?

Yes — a multi-model platform like LumiChats gives you Amazon Nova Pro, Gemini 3.1 Pro 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 Gemini 3.1 Pro?

Gemini 3.1 Pro — released February 19, 2026, about 15 months after Amazon Nova Pro.
