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 59. 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 38.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LongBench v2, 77 to 66. MiniMax M2.5 does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
MiniMax M2.5 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.30 input / $1.20 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 MiniMax M2.5.
Pick Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.5 only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority.
