GPT-4 (Jun 2023) vs Llama Nemotron Ultra 253B

GPT-4 (Jun 2023) (OpenAI) and Llama Nemotron Ultra 253B (NVIDIA) are both frontier AI models. GPT-4 (Jun 2023) was published in June 2023 and Llama Nemotron Ultra 253B in March 2025.

Llama Nemotron Ultra 253B was trained on 3.9×10²⁵ FLOP, about 1.9x the compute of GPT-4 (Jun 2023) at 2.1×10²⁵ FLOP. Training compute is the closest available proxy for how much was invested in a model, though it says nothing on its own about how well that compute was spent.

These two models share no benchmark on which both have been scored, so no direct performance comparison is possible here. The specification table below is a comparison of inputs, not of results.
