NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is the cheapest new vision model of the week
A roughly 120B-parameter vision-language model with about 12B active, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens on OpenRouter's catalogue.
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL on October 15. The checkpoint name, NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B, points to about 120 billion total and 12 billion active parameters. NVIDIA's documentation describes a Nemotron-H hybrid language decoder paired with a RADIO vision encoder and a separate temporal video embedder, and it handles image and video input.
Aiholics' tracker, which reads OpenRouter's catalogue, lists it at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output, with a 1,048,576-token context window, the cheapest priced model of the week. Aiholics notes NVIDIA's documentation page does not state a license.
NVIDIA also released Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B the same day, according to BenchLM's release log.
Why it matters for builders
Agents that read screenshots, PDFs or screen recordings burn a lot of image tokens. A capable vision model at this price can make screenshot-driven agents affordable. Confirm the license before shipping it.
