Nemotron 3 Super 100B· Qwen3.5-27B

Quick Verdict

Pick Qwen3.5-27B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Nemotron 3 Super 100B only becomes the better choice if reasoning is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.

Qwen3.5-27B is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 71 to 57. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Qwen3.5-27B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 77.6 against 41.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is LiveCodeBench, 38% to 80.7%. Nemotron 3 Super 100B does hit back in reasoning, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Qwen3.5-27B is the reasoning model in the pair, while Nemotron 3 Super 100B 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 Super 100B gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 262K for Qwen3.5-27B.

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.
