NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B BF16 — Benchmarks

CritPt (Critical Points) tests graduate-level physics problem-solving on research-style questions spanning mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and more. It was created by physicists to probe whether a model can reason through multi-step physics rather than pattern-match textbook answers.

SciCode asks a model to write real scientific-computing code — implementing multi-step numerical methods drawn from physics, chemistry, biology, and math research — and checks the output against reference solutions. It was built by a team of scientists and ML researchers to test coding ability on genuine research problems, not typical software tasks.

WeirdML asks models to write machine-learning code for small, deliberately unusual datasets, then runs the code and scores the accuracy it actually achieves. Built by Håvard Tveit Ihle, it rewards practical problem-solving over recognizing a familiar task.

ALE-Bench, from Sakana AI and AtCoder, tests long-horizon algorithmic optimisation using problems drawn from AtCoder Heuristic Contests, where there is no single correct answer and solutions are scored on quality. Results are reported as an AtCoder-style performance rating, where higher is better.

Arena (arena.ai, formerly LMArena / Chatbot Arena) ranks models by millions of blind, head-to-head human votes on real prompts. The Arena Score shown here is a Bradley-Terry rating computed with Arena's default style control, so higher means people preferred that model's answers more often — it's a relative rating, not a percentage, so compare it only to other models on this board.
