Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 17 shared benchmark results across 6 evidence categories; 3 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

GPT-5.6 Sol is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 81.96 to 44.24. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.6 Sol's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 64.6 against 32. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is GPQA, 94.6% to 72.2%.

GPT-5.6 Sol is also the more expensive model on tokens at $5.00 input / $30.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GPT-5.6 Sol gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 256K for Nemotron 3 Nano Omni 30B A3B.
