Artificial Analysis reports that Nvidia's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is now the leading US open-weight model, scoring 26 on its Intelligence Index — ahead of Thinking Machines' Inkling Small (25.7), Nemotron 3 Ultra (23) and Meta's Muse Glimmer (17).
- Doubles the intelligence of predecessor Nemotron 3 Super (13) while using 60% fewer output tokens per task
- Launches alongside Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB (score 21), just 1.5 points behind the 550B-parameter Ultra with roughly 1/7 the total and 1/6 the active parameters
- Ships in NVFP4, scoring within 0.1 points of its BF16 weights
- Super VL specs: 120B total / 12B active parameters, 1M-token context, vision + text input
