Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B vs Aion-2.0

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 61 versus 58. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 44.2 against 33.2. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MATH-500, 85 to 71. Aion-2.0 does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Aion-2.0 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.80 input / $1.60 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for Aion-2.0.

Quick Verdict

Pick Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Aion-2.0 only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.
