  • Index scores are 36.8 for Nova 2 Lite and 13.2 for Nova Micro 1.0. Their published uncertainty intervals do not overlap, but the aggregate Index does not predict performance on every task; compare the relevant benchmark configurations before choosing.
  • Both positions use Measured evidence.
  • Listed output price per 1M tokens is $2.50 for Nova 2 Lite and $0.14 for Nova Micro 1.0. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $1.85 for Nova 2 Lite versus $0.14 for Nova Micro 1.0. Nova Micro 1.0 costs 92.4% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.

These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.
