NVIDIANVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra
NVIDIA's largest Nemotron 3 reasoning model for complex agents, coding, planning, tools, RAG, and million-token analysis.
Plain-English overview
What NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra actually is
Nemotron 3 Ultra is a 550-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that activates 55 billion parameters for each token. It is built for demanding agent and reasoning work and supports up to one million tokens of text context with a configurable reasoning budget.
NVIDIA offers a prototype API, NIM deployment, partner endpoints, and downloadable weights. That range lets teams trade convenience for infrastructure control, but it also means performance and cost are properties of the chosen deployment rather than the checkpoint alone.
Good fit for
- Complex long-running agents
- Large-context reasoning and RAG
- Organizations deploying on NVIDIA infrastructure

Example: 6,000 input tokens for 10 pages, plus a 500-token summary. Page lengths vary; adjust the numbers below.
One run sends your input to the model once and receives an answer. Tokens are pieces of text: input is what you send, output is the answer you receive.

Regions and access stage
Available through a free NVIDIA API prototype, partner endpoints, NVIDIA NIM deployment, and downloadable weights.
NVIDIA lists global deployment for the model; actual hosted regions and self-host location depend on the endpoint or infrastructure selected.

The route matters.
Downloaded weights can run in infrastructure the operator controls. NVIDIA's hosted prototype and partner endpoints are governed by their own trial, logging, retention, and deployment terms.
This is a concise reading of the cited provider material, not legal advice. A third-party gateway can have different storage, routing, training, and residency terms from the model maker's direct API.

Price comparison
One price per model, using the same input/output mix. We weight each API rate by its share of one million total tokens and use the lowest matching reviewed route. This is a comparison rate, not a cost per task or a quality score. Tokenizers, caching, reasoning and long context can change your actual bill.
