Llama-3.3 Nemotron Super 49B leads with 16.6% higher average benchmark score. Mistral Small 3.1 24B Instruct supports multimodal inputs. Overall, Llama-3.3 Nemotron Super 49B is the stronger choice for coding tasks.
NVIDIA
Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1 is a 49-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, fine-tuned from Meta's Llama 3.3 using NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training pipeline that combines supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning to enhance reasoning, instruction alignment, and complex problem-solving. The Super tier in the Nemotron family represents a mid-range capability level — positioned above the Nano series and below the Ultra 253B flagship — offering a balance between high-quality outputs and manageable inference infrastructure requirements. Released open-weight on HuggingFace with NVIDIA NIM support, it targets teams with multi-GPU setups who need strong reasoning capability without the scale of the Ultra model.
Mistral AI
Mistral Small 3.1 is a 24-billion-parameter multimodal model from Mistral AI, released in March 2025 as an update to Mistral Small 3 that added vision understanding and expanded the context window from 32K to 128K tokens. The model accepts both text and image inputs, broadening its applicability to document analysis, image-grounded reasoning, and mixed-media workflows without requiring an increase in parameter count. Released under Apache 2.0, it continued Mistral's pattern of incremental capability gains delivered in compact, practically deployable open-weight packages.
