Which one should carry your traffic?
If Nova Lite 1.0 answers your requests as well as Nova Premier 1.0, moving that traffic saves 98% on chat-shaped requests. Averages cannot tell you whether it does for your requests. Nova Lite 1.0 does not expose a confidence signal through OpenRouter, so Gimbix would test it as a full replacement rather than a first answer.
