NVIDIA: Nemotron 3 Ultra
NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra is designed for extensive text processing with a context length of 512,288 tokens and supports both reasoning and tools. It handles multiple input modalities but focuses on text, making it suitable for complex tasks that require deep analysis and tool integration. Considering its price at $0.6 per million input tokens and $3.6 per million output tokens, Nemotron 3 Ultra is more expensive than other models in the market.
