CoBuddy vs Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning vs Perceptron Mk1

Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning is the better all-round choice, scoring 67/100 against CoBuddy (46) and Perceptron Mk1 (45). It leads on price, inputs & features and context window. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning is cheaper at $0.25 input / $0.85 output per million tokens (median across 4 API providers; free on Nvidia). Perceptron Mk1 costs $0.15 input / $1.50 output per million tokens (median across 3 API providers); CoBuddy costs $0.28 input / $1.13 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.40 per million tokens for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning versus $0.487 for Perceptron Mk1 (1.2× as much) and $0.492 for CoBuddy (1.2× as much).

There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. CoBuddy has not been scored yet, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning has not been scored yet and Perceptron Mk1 has not been scored yet.

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for CoBuddy, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning and Perceptron Mk1 yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Note that Perceptron Mk1 does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.

Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning has the largest context window at 256,000 tokens, against 131,072 for CoBuddy and 32,768 for Perceptron Mk1. Maximum output per response: CoBuddy up to 65,536, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning up to 65,536, Perceptron Mk1 up to 8,192 tokens.

CoBuddy accepts text; Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning accepts text, images, audio and video; Perceptron Mk1 accepts text, images and video. Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning handles the widest range of inputs.

Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning publishes its weights and can be self-hosted; CoBuddy and Perceptron Mk1 is proprietary.

Perceptron Mk1 is the newest, released May 12, 2026. CoBuddy came out May 6, 2026; Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning came out Apr 28, 2026.

Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Nov 2, 2026.
