Head-to-head comparison
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni (NVIDIA) and GPT-4o-mini (OpenAI) compared on the ModelCap Index, API price, context window, provider availability, weight access and every public benchmark board they share. Figures are the same ones shown on the live rankings; nothing here is a hidden score.
Snapshot as of 19 August 2026
As of 19 August 2026, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni holds the stronger ModelCap Index position (#217 vs #220); Nemotron 3 Nano Omni is cheaper per output token (Free/1M vs $0.60/1M); and Nemotron 3 Nano Omni offers the longer context window (256K vs 128K tokens).
Evidence: publisher corpus prior · leave-one-anchor-out calibrated · 2 public benchmark observations across 2 boards. Prices are the lowest listed API offer per million tokens observed on the OpenRouter catalogue.
Scores are the sources' own published figures for each model's best evaluated configuration; ModelCap never re-runs a benchmark.

Nemotron 3 Nano Omni ranks higher on the ModelCap Index as of 19 August 2026: #217 against #220. That is a capability ranking built from public benchmark evidence with published uncertainty; whether it is "better" for you also depends on price, context and where you can run it.
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni is cheaper on output tokens: Free/1M against $0.60/1M. Input tokens are Free/1M for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni and $0.15/1M for GPT-4o-mini. Prices are the lowest listed API offer ModelCap observed, in USD per million tokens.
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni has the larger context window: 256K tokens against 128K.
The two models do not share a coding benchmark board on ModelCap yet, so no head-to-head coding score is published; the ModelCap Index position is the closest overall signal.
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni: Restricted license. GPT-4o-mini: API only. Open weights mean the checkpoint can be downloaded and self-hosted under its licence; API-only models are available solely through hosted endpoints.
ModelCap currently lists 1 API provider for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni and 2 for GPT-4o-mini, from the OpenRouter catalogue snapshot the site serves; each model page lists the providers and their prices.
Every figure comes from the sealed ModelCap dataset published 19 August 2026; the page re-renders within a minute of each data refresh, and the ModelCap Index positions are the same ones shown on the live rankings.
