Frequently Asked Questions about Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3

How much does the Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 API cost per 1M tokens?+

Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 by NVIDIA is priced at $0.05 per 1M input tokens and $0.1 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.01 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 pay-as-you-go API?+

A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.

How many words and pages fit in Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3's context window?+

Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 features a 128K tokens context window, which equals approximately 96,000 English words or ~256 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 2,048 tokens.

Can I run Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 (8B) releases open weights that can be self-hosted locally or on private cloud GPUs using vLLM, Ollama, SGLang, or llama.cpp.

Does NVIDIA train on data sent to the Llama 3.1 Nemotron Safety Guard 8B v3 API, and is commercial use allowed?+

100% Isolated when self-hosted on private GPUs or VPC. License tier: Open-Weights Research & Commercial License. Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: Self-Hosted GPU (vLLM / Ollama), Private VPC, or Managed Serverless API.
