What is the context window of nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b?
nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b has a context window of 1.0M tokens, with a maximum output of 66K tokens per response. That is roughly 1,398 words of input you can fit in a single prompt.
What can nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b do?
nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b supports tool calling, extended reasoning. You can call it through any OpenAI-compatible client by pointing base_url to Requesty.
How do I use nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b with the OpenAI SDK?
Install the OpenAI SDK, set base_url to "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", set your API key to your Requesty key, and set the model to "nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b". The quickstart pane shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.
Can I run nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b through Requesty?
Yes. nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b runs through Requesty's OpenAI-compatible API, served from NVIDIA. You do not host the model yourself: point base_url at Requesty, set the model to "nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b", and requests are routed to the upstream provider with automatic failover. The same key gives you 600+ other models too.
