Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is intended for autonomous agents and action sequences that continue across several steps. It is also used in conversational assistants, document-grounded retrieval and instruction following. Input and output are text.
The hybrid mixture of experts combines Mamba-2 and separate attention layers. The model contains 30 billion parameters in total, with 3 billion active per token. Context reaches one million tokens.
Layers predicting several upcoming tokens are additionally trained to align their proposals with the main model's distribution. Speculative-decoding methods are presented alongside the release. They help organize generation but do not specify a guaranteed request speed.
The final stage characterizes a particular manufacturer release and does not establish the computation precision of a served request. In an external workflow, the model proposes actions and a text result; the application executes tools.
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese are officially listed, along with programming languages. The pretraining data snapshot is through September 2025, and subsequent training through May 2026.
The characteristics of the published numerically compressed release describe that specific variant. The model name does not establish the computation precision of a particular execution. One million tokens is the overall context, not a separate promise of output length.

nemotron-lightning-latestNemotron 3.5 Lightning is an NVIDIA text model for sustained agentic tasks, coding, document retrieval and conversation.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is intended for autonomous agents and action sequences that continue across several steps. It is also used in conversational assistants, document-grounded retrieval and instruction following. Input and output are text.
The hybrid mixture of experts combines Mamba-2 and separate attention layers. The model contains 30 billion parameters in total, with 3 billion active per token. Context reaches one million tokens.
Layers predicting several upcoming tokens are additionally trained to align their proposals with the main model's distribution. Speculative-decoding methods are presented alongside the release. They help organize generation but do not specify a guaranteed request speed.
The final stage characterizes a particular manufacturer release and does not establish the computation precision of a served request. In an external workflow, the model proposes actions and a text result; the application executes tools.
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese are officially listed, along with programming languages. The pretraining data snapshot is through September 2025, and subsequent training through May 2026.
The characteristics of the published numerically compressed release describe that specific variant. The model name does not establish the computation precision of a particular execution. One million tokens is the overall context, not a separate promise of output length.

Technical example in English
Apply a document-grounded procedure\n\nUse these procedure excerpts to draft the next action for case C-09. [Rule 1] Packages with a damaged seal go to inspection. [Rule 2] Only inspection-cleared packages enter stock. [Record] C-09 has a damaged seal and no inspection result. Return the current permitted step, blocked step and supporting rule labels.Three concise fields covering the permitted inspection step, blocked stocking and source evidence.Check that missing inspection clearance prevents stocking and does not become an assumed failed inspection.
