Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
Mistral Large 3 and Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B finish on the same overall score, so this is less about a single winner and more about where the edge shows up. The headline says tie; the benchmark table is where the real choice happens.
Mistral Large 3 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.00 input / $6.00 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 Mistral Large 3.
Treat this as a split decision. Mistral Large 3 makes more sense if multimodal & grounded is the priority; Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B is the better fit if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
