Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct vs Nova Pro vs Aya Expanse 32B

Nova Pro is the better all-round choice, scoring 49/100 against Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct (39) and Aya Expanse 32B (32). It leads on inputs & features and context window. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct is cheaper at $0.66 input / $1.00 output per million tokens (median across 7 API providers). Aya Expanse 32B costs $0.50 input / $1.50 output per million tokens (official Cohere API price); Nova Pro costs $0.80 input / $3.20 output per million tokens (official Amazon Bedrock API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.745 per million tokens for Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct versus $0.75 for Aya Expanse 32B (1× as much) and $1.40 for Nova Pro (1.9× as much).

There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct has not been scored yet, Nova Pro has not been scored yet and Aya Expanse 32B has not been scored yet.

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct, Nova Pro and Aya Expanse 32B yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Note that Aya Expanse 32B does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.

Nova Pro has the largest context window at 300,000 tokens, against 131,072 for Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct and 128,000 for Aya Expanse 32B. Maximum output per response: Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct up to 8,192, Nova Pro up to 10,000, Aya Expanse 32B up to 4,000 tokens.

Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Nov 2, 2026.
