Alliant un indice d’intelligence de 53/100, un contexte de 262K et un débit de 85 tok/s, Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B s’impose comme une valeur sûre de la gamme NVIDIA.

Best for: Conçu pour les flux de travail agentiques autonomes, l’appel d’outils et l’orchestration multi-étapes, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B

How much does the Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B API cost per 1M tokens?+

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B by NVIDIA is priced at $0.3 per 1M input tokens and $0.8 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.06 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.

Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B 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 Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B's context window?+

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B features a 262K tokens context window, which equals approximately 196,608 English words or ~524 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 32,768 tokens.

Can I run Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+

Yes, Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B (120B (12B active MoE)) 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 Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B 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.

How does Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 53/100, scoring 51% on SWE-bench Verified, 64.5% on GPQA Diamond, 82.8% on MMLU-Pro, and 1350 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.

What is Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B best used for?+

Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B is best suited for: Conçu pour les flux de travail agentiques autonomes, l’appel d’outils et l’orchestration multi-étapes, l’intégration RAG et les pipelines de production évolutifs..
