The small, fast NVIDIA model is Nemotron 3 Super (free) — the efficient tier at 238 tokens/sec and Free per million input tokens. It trades a few points of raw intelligence for speed and cost, the right call for high-volume, latency-sensitive work. Nemotron 3 Super (238 t/s) and Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B (free) (159 t/s) round out the top three.
Compact, efficient models — the small/mini/flash/haiku tier — ranked by output speed. These trade a little raw intelligence for low cost and high throughput, which is the right tradeoff for chat, classification, extraction and other high-volume work.
