Hands-on review · 2026-10-21
TestedA8/10- CPU-only box: 8 cores, 15 GB RAM, no GPU.
- Hosted; free daily limit
Nemotron 3.5 Super was the best free chat model we've run. It passed every task in both runs, including keeping the summary under 60 words, which MiniMax missed once, and it was quick. This is the same small battery as before, so it is a strong but narrow result.
8/8 on a small battery, fast, $0.

- What we tested
- Same 4-task battery as MiniMax M3.1 Flash (code with 6 unit checks, 2 trick questions, 60-word summary of a 700-word text), 2 runs.
