Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 4B V1.1 wins more areas, narrowly.

Scores updated · 7 tests both models report · How we compare

Where each one wins

Tests won in each of the four areas where both have results. Each piece is one test, so a longer bar means more evidence; grey means the two scored within a point of each other.

Coding, long documents and following instructions rest on a single test each.

What it costs

Prices per million tokens, roughly 750,000 words. The bars show the cost of a million tokens read plus a million written.

Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 4B V1.1 wins two of the four areas where both have results: coding and reasoning. Apertus 70B Instruct wins none. They are level on long documents and following instructions.

Which is better for coding?

Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 4B V1.1. It wins the one coding test both models report.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 7 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 5 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 2 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
