GPT-5.5 vs Nemotron 3 Super
GPT-5.5 leads Nemotron 3 Super on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, 38.4 to 12.8, and Nemotron 3 Super costs 66.7x less per output token ($0.45 vs $30.00 per million). Updated October 22, 2026; 39 benchmarks have a result for both.
GPT-5.5 or Nemotron 3 Super: which to pick
Only GPT-5.5 has a coding score, 71.3 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 66.7x cheaper ($0.45 vs $30.00 per million).
