AWS Pairs Amazon Nova 2 Lite With Claude Sonnet 4.6 for Cost-Optimized Document Processing

AWS Machine Learning Blog·medium signal

AWS published a two-model pipeline that uses the cheaper Amazon Nova 2 Lite alongside Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6 to digitize scanned documents at scale on Amazon Bedrock. The architecture routes cheap, high-volume extraction to Nova 2 Lite and reserves Claude for higher-reasoning steps — a concrete pattern for cutting per-document inference cost. It's directly actionable for builders running OCR/IDP workloads.
