Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard for Agentic AI

Connections

Supports

11–16× Faster LLM Inference with llama.cpp Nemotron Lightning's emphasis on faster, more efficient inference directly aligns with and is supported by techniques achieving 11-16x faster LLM inference; both target the same goal of reducing inference latency
Agent Swarms and the New Model Economics Lightweight open models with routing libraries like NeMo Switchyard directly address the model economics of agent swarms by enabling cost-efficient local inference instead of expensive API calls
Building an Advanced Agentic Harness NeMo Switchyard's routing library for agentic workflows directly supports building advanced agentic harnesses by providing infrastructure for orchestrating model calls and routing decisions
