NVIDIA and Local AI Community Fuel Open Source Models and Intelligent Agents
NVIDIA introduced the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning open-weights model for agentic tasks and NeMo Switchyard, an open source routing library.
Why it matters
Developers can build personalized local AI agents with lower latency and reduce token costs when running complex workflows.
The details
- Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open 30B mixture-of-experts model.
- The model offers up to 4x faster token generation than similar open models.
- NeMo Switchyard routes agent workflows based on accuracy, speed, and cost.
