Decision reading

Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.

Nova Micro 1.0 has the edge where output tokens cost 6.4x less, and where what matters is LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) or Terminal-Bench Hard (Artificial Analysis run), where it leads.

Benchmark by benchmark

First the score: boards each model leads, per category, where both have a result. Then every board, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale, so compare the two in a row, not one row with another.
