NVIDIA: Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B
Analysis Summary
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B is a compact model priced at $0.05 input and $0.20 output per 1M tokens, making it one of the most affordable benchmarked options available. It supports tool use and function calling with a 262K context window. Its intelligence index of 13.2 and coding index of 15.8 place it in the limited capability tier.
For businesses, it suits simple automation, lightweight tool orchestration, and high-volume tasks where cost is the primary constraint. Reasoning depth and coding reliability are insufficient for complex engineering or analytical workloads. Long-context reasoning (lcr 0.067) is particularly weak, limiting its usefulness for document-heavy tasks despite the large context window.
At this price point, it competes well for bulk, low-complexity operations. Teams running high-volume, simple structured tasks will find the cost-to-capability ratio acceptable, but should not expect strong performance on nuanced or multi-step workflows.
