Decision reading
At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. 4 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for a specific job
Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.

Not comparable · BenchAlign v5.7
The coding row is not comparable on the public lane: at least one model is not measured or not ranked there.
Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.
Same basis rules as the category table below
What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
A shared-evidence shape is not available.
BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.
Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.7 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.7) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Pokee-Isaac 28B has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 has no comparable published API token rate.
Cached input falls back to the list input rate only where a cached rate is unpublished

If you already use one of these models
- Deployment change
- The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
- Quality signal
- At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner.
- Workload cost
- A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
- Context tradeoff
- Pokee-Isaac 28B has the larger documented window (10M).
Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.
Questions
Which is better, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 or Pokee-Isaac 28B?
At least one model is not scored in the current public ranking lane, so the page does not name an overall quality winner. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Which is better for coding, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 or Pokee-Isaac 28B?
Pokee-Isaac 28B is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Which is better for agentic tasks, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 or Pokee-Isaac 28B?
Pokee-Isaac 28B is not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
Which costs less, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 or Pokee-Isaac 28B?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B NVFP4 or Pokee-Isaac 28B?
Pokee-Isaac 28B has the larger documented context window: 10M, compared with 1M.
