| Summary | NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 30B total parameters and 3B active per token, optimized for high-throughput agentic workloads and efficient inference. Its lightweight active compute and open design make it well suited for specialized agents, domain-specific customization, and scalable production deployments where speed, cost efficiency, and adaptability are key. | Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, serving as a direct upgrade to Sonnet 5. It excels at feature development, bug fixing, and creating polished documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, while offering clearer writing and communication than its predecessor. |
