01 — Verdict

Too close to call

It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp 70/100, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning 69/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp on price and DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp 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.

Yes, both publish their weights (MIT), so you can self-host them.

Which is newer?

DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp is the newest, released Aug 21, 2026. Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B Reasoning came out Apr 28, 2026.

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 Oct 4, 2026.
