Questions people ask
Which is better, Claude 3.5 Haiku or Nemotron Cascade 2 30B A3B?
Nemotron Cascade 2 30B A3B wins five of the six areas where both have results: coding, agents, reasoning, long documents and following instructions. Claude 3.5 Haiku wins none. They are level on facts.
Which is better for coding?
Nemotron Cascade 2 30B A3B. It wins 3 of the 3 coding tests both models report; Claude 3.5 Haiku wins none.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 17 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 12 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 5 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.
