NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning packs 30B params with just 3B active

NVIDIA's new MoE model delivers big-model performance with 90% fewer active parameters

Deep Dive

Key Points
  • 30B total parameters with only 3B active per token via MoE architecture
  • BF16 precision optimized for efficient inference on NVIDIA GPUs
  • Reportedly matches Llama 3.1 70B on reasoning and code benchmarks at 2-3x lower cost

Why It Matters

Enterprise teams can now run frontier-level code and reasoning models on modest hardware, cutting inference costs dramatically.
