Hardware Matrix Model Developer: NVIDIA Corporation Model Dates: December 2025 - May 2026 Data Freshness: NVIDIA Nemotron™ is a family of open models with open weights, training data, and recipes, delivering leading efficiency and accuracy for building specialized AI agents. NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4 is a large language model (LLM) trained by NVIDIA. The model employs a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts architecture, utilizing interleaved Mamba-2 and MoE layers, along with select Attention layers. The Lightning 3.5 model is released alongside a number of speculative decoding methods for faster text generation. The model has 3B active parameters and 30B parameters in total. This model is ready for commercial use. To get quickly started on DGX Spark (GB10) you can use the following command. Grab the model: Run it with vLLM — this recipe uses DSpark speculative decoding, tuned for DGX Spark. (vLLM version: vllm/vllm-openai:v0.27.1) Validated context: 1M tokens (default).

Compatibility and lineage

Reported languages: en, es, fr, de, it, ja

Base-model lineage was not included.

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
