Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 13 shared benchmark results across 6 evidence categories; 3 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

GPT-5.2 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 57.62 to 43.32. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.2's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 70.6 against 32. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 92.4% to 72.2%.

GPT-5.2 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.75 input / $14.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.2 gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 256K for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B.
