Nemotron 3.5 Lightning

NVIDIA · Released Aug 2026

Compare

A 30-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model from NVIDIA with 3B active parameters per token and a 262K token context window.

Strengths
Fast inference throughput due to its small active parameter count relative to total model size, making it well-suited for latency-sensitive applications.
Best for
High-throughput agentic workloads and specialized tasks where inference speed is prioritized over reasoning depth.
Limitations
The 3B active parameter constraint means it trades off reasoning capability and task complexity handling compared to larger NVIDIA models like Nemotron 3 Ultra or Nemotron 3 Super.
