Key Cost Levers & Architecture

Practical mechanisms to reduce inference costs with Nova Multimodal Embeddings on AWS

Prompt CachingSave ~75%

Caches repetitive system instructions, schemas, and document prefixes in memory with 5-minute and extended 1-hour TTL tiers.

Read Rate: $0.04 / 1M tokens
Write Rate (5m TTL): $0.20 / 1M tokens
Ideal for: Multi-turn conversations, RAG document queries, structured schemas

Batch InferenceSave 50%

Asynchronous bulk processing submitted via Amazon S3 with a standard 24-hour turnaround SLA.

Batch Input: $0.08 / 1M tokens
Batch Output: — / 1M tokens
Ideal for: Offline classification, synthetic data generation, benchmark evals

Cross-Region & Tiers2 Regions

AWS Bedrock supports standard on-demand inference, priority reserved throughput, and cross-region routing.

Standard: Lowest latency, pay-per-token with zero commitments
Cross-Region Routing: Automatically burst traffic to available regional capacity
GovCloud: Dedicated isolated compliance partitions with +20% uplift
