Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Nemotron 3 Ultra 500B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 63 to 57. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
Nemotron 3 Ultra 500B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 62.8 against 57. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 57% to 63%. MiniMax M2.7 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
MiniMax M2.7 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 Ultra 500B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Nemotron 3 Ultra 500B is the reasoning model in the pair, while MiniMax M2.7 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. Nemotron 3 Ultra 500B gives you the larger context window at 10M, compared with 200K for MiniMax M2.7.
Pick Nemotron 3 Ultra 500B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.7 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
