Amazon Nova Pro vs Muse Spark 1.1

Amazon · US  |  Meta · 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 Muse Spark 1.1 for scaled tool use — 88.1 on mcp atlas, ahead of opus 4.8 and gpt-5.5 (vendor-reported) or subagent orchestration — trained to run as a main agent or a subagent that escalates when stuck. On a tight budget at scale, Amazon Nova Pro is the value pick.

Amazon Nova Pro (Amazon) and Muse Spark 1.1 (Meta) 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. Muse Spark 1.1 is meta's first paid, closed-weight frontier model — class-leading agentic tool use at a quarter of rivals' price, but it trails on coding. 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; Muse Spark 1.1 does not.

Balanced cost-to-capability for general business tasks

Amazon Nova Pro

At $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens it undercuts Muse Spark 1.1 ($1.25/$4.25 per 1M tokens), and that gap compounds at volume.

Scaled tool use — 88.1 on MCP Atlas, ahead of Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 (vendor-reported)

Muse Spark 1.1

Meta's first paid, closed-weight frontier model — class-leading agentic tool use at a quarter of rivals' price, but it trails on coding — and it carries the larger 1M context.

Subagent orchestration — trained to run as a main agent or a subagent that escalates when stuck

Muse Spark 1.1

Meta's first paid, closed-weight frontier model — class-leading agentic tool use at a quarter of rivals' price, but it trails on coding — and it is the newer of the two.

Professional agentic work — 54.7 on JobBench, a wide margin over rivals (vendor-reported)

Muse Spark 1.1

Muse Spark 1.1 lists professional agentic work — 54.7 on JobBench, a wide margin over rivals (vendor-reported) among its strengths; Amazon Nova Pro does not.

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

Muse Spark 1.1

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 Muse Spark 1.1, and on millions of tokens that margin decides the monthly bill.

Someone analysing very long documents or codebases

Muse Spark 1.1

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 scaled tool use — 88.1 on mcp atlas, ahead of opus 4.8 and gpt-5.5 (vendor-reported)

Muse Spark 1.1

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.

Muse Spark 1.1: where it fits

Meta's first paid, closed-weight frontier model — class-leading agentic tool use at a quarter of rivals' price, but it trails on coding. Released July 9, 2026 by Meta, it is built for scaled tool use — 88.1 on MCP Atlas, ahead of Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 (vendor-reported), subagent orchestration — trained to run as a main agent or a subagent that escalates when stuck, professional agentic work — 54.7 on JobBench, a wide margin over rivals (vendor-reported), and managing its own context: it compacts the 1M window mid-run instead of relying on external windowing.

Its trade-offs: not the coding leader its launch framing implied — Meta's own report concedes it trails Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on every coding benchmark, the 1M window oversells its recall: 54.1 on MRCR v2 at 1M against GPT-5.5's 74.0, closed weights end the free, self-hostable Llama path — this is the first model Meta has charged for, and uS-only public preview behind a waitlist, and every benchmark is vendor-reported with no third-party replication. At $1.25 in / $4.25 out per million tokens, it sits in the mid price band.

The bottom line for this matchup

Amazon Nova Pro and Muse Spark 1.1 overlap enough that the right pick depends on your specific job. Amazon Nova Pro costs less per token; Muse Spark 1.1 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, Muse Spark 1.1 for scaled tool use — 88.1 on mcp atlas, ahead of opus 4.8 and gpt-5.5 (vendor-reported). 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 Muse Spark 1.1 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 Muse Spark 1.1 leans toward scaled tool use — 88.1 on mcp atlas, ahead of opus 4.8 and gpt-5.5 (vendor-reported), and that positioning usually predicts which feels better on your codebase.

Which is cheaper, Amazon Nova Pro or Muse Spark 1.1?

Amazon Nova Pro is cheaper — $0.8/$3.2 per 1M tokens vs $1.25/$4.25 per 1M tokens, roughly 1.6× apart on input.

Which has the bigger context window?

Muse Spark 1.1 — 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 Muse Spark 1.1 together?

Yes — a multi-model platform like LumiChats gives you Amazon Nova Pro, Muse Spark 1.1 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 Muse Spark 1.1?

Muse Spark 1.1 — released July 9, 2026, about 19 months after Amazon Nova Pro.
