Fast NVIDIA Nemotron MoE for reliable agentic tasks across enterprise workloads
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B by nvidia is offered by 11 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 8 of them. Its official list price is $0 per 1M tokens. The lowest paid channel is RunInfra at $0.05 / $0.15 per 1M, about 10× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it. It also has 3 free ($0) channels; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
The context window is 262,144 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 8,192 to 1,048,576, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
