Not independently scored by Artificial Analysis — its base model nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base is the closest proxy
NVIDIA's open 9B on the Nemotron-H hybrid architecture, with a reasoning mode. Free on OpenRouter's :free routes, and small enough for any card.
BigCodeBench-Hard pass@1 18% (27/148), via official protocol · llama.cpp Q4_K_M · one request at a time · a shared cluster GPU · mean of 3 runs, range 0.0 pp. The brutal counterpart to HumanEval — where HumanEval saturates near the top, BCB-Hard spreads the field, so this is the number that actually separates coding ability. does not fit the token budget; 7 of 148 answers hit the token limit (effective ceiling 95%)
Our own runs on this model. Each number carries how many problems it is over and how many times we ran it — these are not comparable with each other, and none of them is on the same scale as the third-party indices on the leaderboard.

85.9% ± 2.2 over 1390 problems
Q4_K_M · a shared cluster GPU · KV f16 · 1 run. This is the non-agentic half of BFCL: does the model call the right function with the right arguments. It says nothing about how it behaves over a long agentic conversation, which is a separate measurement. The score is BFCL’s own: the unweighted mean of four groups (simple, multiple, parallel, parallel multiple), where simple is itself the mean of Python, Java and JavaScript. Every group counts the same whatever its size, and irrelevance detection — which we also measure, another 240 problems — is not part of it. The margin follows that same weighting.
| quant | GiB | 4K | 8K | 32K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 6.1 | 88.7 ± 4.7 · N=5 | 91.1 ± 5.5 · N=5 | 89.4 ± 5.5 · N=5 |
All 13 RULER tasks, one request at a time, KV cache f16, bench commit c3f5e3b4, seed 42. The score is the mean of the 13; the margin is two standard deviations of the sampling, so it grows as the sample shrinks and as the score drops. Everything here clears the paper’s effective-length bar of 85.6 at every length shown.
This is not a coding score and must not be read as one. RULER asks whether the model finds and follows a fact buried in a long text. Quantising hits the two differently, so a model that still retrieves at length may already have lost the code.

About 6 GB at Q4: fits an 8 GB card. It is also free on OpenRouter :free. Our score comes from a Q4_K_M GGUF in llama.cpp, not from the hosted route.
