What you need to know about Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety

NVIDIA, based in United States, put Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety online on June 4, 2026. It accepts text and images as input and produces text. Its context window reaches 131,072 tokens, larger than 29 % of the models in the registry, and it can write up to 117,964 tokens in one go.

It has been available for about 5 months, long enough for its prices and scores to have settled.

Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety pricing

On OpenRouter, Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety costs $0.2 per million input tokens and $0.2 per million output tokens. Counting three tokens read for every token written, its average price is $0.2 per million, more expensive than 22 % of paid models (3.8 times cheaper than the median of $0.76).

A concrete example: a task that sends 2,000 tokens (about 1,500 words) and receives a 500-token answer costs $0.0005. At 1,000 tasks a day, budget $15 a month. The price calculator redoes this with your own volumes.

Performance and benchmarks

Epoch AI does not yet publish a capabilities index for Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety. We therefore show no made-up performance rating: only price, context and features count towards its score.

Features, privacy and local use

  • It does not support tool calling: it is not suited to driving an AI agent that has to act.
  • It is a reasoning model: it "thinks" before answering, which helps on hard tasks but uses more output tokens.

Its weights are open and downloadable from Hugging Face: you can run it on your own machines without sending your data to a third party.
