- Gemini 4 Carbon: B 62.6, rank #555 of 1518 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gemini-4-carbon.min.md
- Nemotron 3.5 Super VL: C 59.3, rank #712 of 1518 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/nemotron-3-5-super-vl.min.md
- Gemini 4 Carbon, good for Agents on the hardest long tasks (multi-step debugging, large codebases, open-ended research, security work) that can pay frontier prices and already use the Gemini API. Ahead on Schema & documentation, 85 against 74; Agent ergonomics, 93 against 65; Maintenance & community, 83 against 71; Transparency & trust, 72 against 58.
- Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, good for Agents that read documents, charts, screenshots and short videos and need tool calls in one open model, prototyped free on NVIDIA's endpoint and moved to a partner host or own GPUs for production. Ahead on Reliability, 58 against 40; Payments & pricing, 35 against 20. Also Free to start without a card.

Why the edge:
- Agent ergonomics, Gemini 4 Carbon +28: Gemini 4 Carbon 93 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 65 (Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors).)
- Reliability, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL +18: Gemini 4 Carbon 40 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 58 (Hosted reading, for NVIDIA's trial endpoint.)
- Payments & pricing, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL +15: Gemini 4 Carbon 20 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 35 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0).)
- Transparency & trust, Gemini 4 Carbon +14: Gemini 4 Carbon 72 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 58 (Weights under OpenMDW-1.1, a short permissive licence from the Linux Foundation with no field-of-use limits, but not an OSI licence.)
- Maintenance & community, Gemini 4 Carbon +12: Gemini 4 Carbon 83 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 71 (Released on 15 October 2026. The Hugging Face commit lists, re-read on 4 November, show a processor-config and video-forward fix in the BF16 repository on 22 Oc…)
- Schema & documentation, Gemini 4 Carbon +11: Gemini 4 Carbon 85 (Model reading for gemini-4-carbon on the Gemini API.); Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 74 (Model reading.)
