Nvidia releases Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard to give enterprise AI capability options

Nvidia has announced two new services aimed at providing enterprise customers with more options for artificial intelligence capabilities. According to the article, the first service is a highly customizable Nemotron model called Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, and the second is an open-source model routing library called NeMo Switchyard.

The article describes NeMo Switchyard as a library for AI agents that routes prompts to the most capable and efficient model available at each step of an agent workflow. This description suggests that the library is intended to select, for each step of an agent's task, the model that best balances output quality and computational efficiency. The Nemotron model, the article notes, is highly customizable, which likely means it can be tailored to specific enterprise requirements. The article does not state exactly which models are part of the Switchyard routing library, nor does it explain how the routing decision is made.

The article frames the releases as a way to give enterprises options in AI capabilities, meaning organisations can choose between a dedicated model and a routing system. Nvidia, a company known for developing AI computing hardware and software, developed both services. The excerpt provided does not include pricing, availability dates, or performance benchmarks. It also does not compare these services to those of other vendors.
