NVIDIA claims its open model Nemotron 3 Ultra beats closed ones on price: about 10 times cheaper to run, with the highest accuracy among open models. LangChain has already tuned its agent framework Deep Agents specifically for it.
- NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra - an open model with the highest accuracy among open models, per the company.
- About 10x lower inference cost compared to leading closed models.
- LangChain has optimized its Deep Agents agent framework specifically for it.
Another open model, you'll say. This one comes with one claim that, if it holds up, changes the math for anyone running agents in a loop, day after day.
An agent doesn't ask the model once. It asks hundreds of times. In a loop, over and over. Under that kind of load, the cost of a single run stops being a small line item and becomes the ceiling - it decides whether you even get to production. Accuracy at an affordable price beats a peak you can't afford to run a thousand times.
The numbers come from NVIDIA. I take them with respect, not on trust - we measure them against our own tasks. If they hold up, an open model at that price changes what's reasonable to automate. The checking stays ours. The math gets lighter.
