Start free briefUpdated August 14, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
Claude Sonnet 5 has the higher public score estimate, 64.78 versus 44.4, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.
1 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B has no comparable published API token rate.
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B has no comparable published API token rate.
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B has no comparable published API token rate.
Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.
Maximum documented context; output-token limits may be lower.

Claude Sonnet 5 has the higher public score estimate, 64.78 versus 44.4, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Claude Sonnet 5 has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 256K.
