NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard Deliver Faster, Smarter, More Efficient Agentic AI

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is a 30B-parameter MoE model with up to 4x faster output; Switchyard cuts agent task costs to nearly a third.

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is available on Hugging Face, ModelScope, OpenRouter, and build.nvidia.com as an NVIDIA NIM microservice.
It runs locally on RTX PCs, DGX Spark, DGX Station, and Jetson, or across data centers and cloud.
NeMo Switchyard is open source on GitHub and integrates with partners like Boomi, Cadence, Cognition, LangChain, and LiteLLM.
NVIDIA also released Nemotron-RL-Agentic-Terminal-Pivot, a reinforcement learning dataset for coding agents.

Enterprises building agentic AI can now deploy a smaller open model and a routing library to cut costs and latency while maintaining accuracy.
