Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Reka Edge 64/100, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B 64/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Reka Edge on price and Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B for long inputs. 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.

Reka Edge is the newest, released Mar 11, 2026. Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B came out Dec 15, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B Jun 25, 2025.
How do you decide the winner?
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.
