NVIDIA: Nemotron 3 Ultra
Analysis Summary
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra is a strong mid-tier model with a 37.8 intelligence index, a 49.3 coding index approaching world-class territory, and a 59.8 agentic index that places it comfortably in the upper tier for autonomous task execution. It supports tool use and function calling across a 1M token context window, making it well suited to long-document analysis and multi-step agentic pipelines.
For businesses, the combination of near-excellent coding capability, strong agentic reliability, and a 1M context window makes it a practical choice for software engineering workflows, code review automation, and document-heavy analysis tasks. The absence of vision support is a limitation for teams needing multimodal processing.
At $0.50 input and $2.20 output per million tokens, it offers strong price-performance for technical workloads. Teams running high-volume coding or agentic tasks will find it a cost-effective alternative to premium flagship models, particularly where vision is not required.
