Compact Nemotron model for efficient reasoning and deployable AI agents
Nvidia Nemotron Nano 9B V2 is offered by 4 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 3 of them. Its official list price is $0 per 1M tokens. It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 7.4 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.102 per 1M, that is roughly 72 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 17 tokens per second, with 62.41s to the first token.
The context window is 131,072 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 131,072, 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. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-09.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
1 / 4 providers expose no reasoning control (reasoning_options: []).
1 more channels offer $0 (Nvidia); free tiers usually have rate limits and no SLA, excluded from ranking.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
