Nemotron

Vendor: nemotron-3.5-lightning, as of 29 September 2026

NVIDIA's open model line, graded from a compact to a very large tier. The reason for its entry is the exceptionally large context window: a complete file including annexes fits into one operation without having to be cut up first; the largest tier does, however, demand more computing power than a single machine provides. If the model runs on your own hardware, no third party participates and the disclosure question under section 203 of the German Criminal Code does not arise. In dedicated operation on reserved hardware in Germany the chain is closed as well: there the signed confidentiality undertaking binds the operator participating in the processing. The Open Telekom Cloud also offers the model, under its own standard agreement with its customers.

Available through us

Everything section 203 requires is settled, including the provider's confidentiality undertaking, and nothing is stored at the provider, apart from a technical cache of a few minutes for Claude (zero retention). You do not have to clarify anything further.

What it is good for

  • Context window of up to one million tokens - large files do not have to be split
  • Nano and Super run in dedicated operation on a single card, Ultra needs more hardware
  • Hybrid Mamba architecture: faster output on long inputs than pure transformers of the same size

Where it stops

  • NVIDIA Open Model License, not Apache or MIT - commercial use is permitted, but the licence is vendor-specific
  • No legal fine-tuning; the professional assessment stays with the practitioner
  • The Ultra tier cannot be operated on a single dedicated instance

Status through us

The same model, procured differently, is a different legal position. The status above refers to procurement through us; processing takes place in Germany.

Which route carries it, with which instrument and under which condition, we set out in full to the firm before it commissions us - section 203(4) requires that the chain can be checked, not that it is published. The full matrix, with the sources behind every route, can be requested in the German catalogue after confirming your e-mail address, and we go through it in the conversation.
