GPT-5.4 Mini vs Nemotron 3 Super
GPT-5.4 Mini leads Nemotron 3 Super on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, 24.1 to 12.8, and Nemotron 3 Super costs 10.0x less per output token ($0.45 vs $4.50 per million). Updated October 22, 2026; 38 benchmarks have a result for both.
GPT-5.4 Mini or Nemotron 3 Super: which to pick
Only GPT-5.4 Mini has a coding score, 35.8 on the Vibe Coding Index; Nemotron 3 Super has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Nemotron 3 Super for output tokens 10.0x cheaper ($0.45 vs $4.50 per million) and work measured by LMArena Text: Spanish, where it leads.
