Seed-2.0-Lite vs Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

Seed-2.0-Lite has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 63 versus 61. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Seed-2.0-Lite's sharpest advantage is in multimodal & grounded, where it averages 79.6 against 60.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMMU-Pro, 80 to 55. Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Seed-2.0-Lite is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.25 input / $2.00 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.

Quick Verdict

Pick Seed-2.0-Lite if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
