Holo3-122B-A10B· Nemotron Ultra 253B

Quick Verdict

Pick Holo3-122B-A10B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Nemotron Ultra 253B only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.

Holo3-122B-A10B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 79 to 41. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Holo3-122B-A10B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 78.9 against 46.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OSWorld-Verified, 78.8% to 45%.

Holo3-122B-A10B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.40 input / $3.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Nemotron Ultra 253B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Nemotron Ultra 253B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Holo3-122B-A10B is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Holo3-122B-A10B gives you the larger context window at 64K, compared with 32K for Nemotron Ultra 253B.

Decision framing

BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.

Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
