Overview

Overview

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open-weight reasoning and chat model for long-running agents, sub-agent work, chatbots, and RAG systems. The model has 30B parameters with 3B active per token, in a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts design that interleaves Mamba-2 and MoE layers with a few attention layers. It has a 1M token context window and supports tool calling and structured outputs. The provider may retain prompts and responses for model improvement. MiniRouter supports text input only.
