GIGABYTE Supports Nemotron 3.5 Lightning｜Reshaping the Era of Autonomous Agentic AI with AI TOP ATOM

As generative AI rapidly transitions into the era of Agentic AI, enterprises and developers are actively seeking hybrid computing architectures capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks locally with ultra-low latency. To address market demand for high-performance, high-privacy on-premises AI computing, GIGABYTE has announced that its AI TOP ATOM hardware platform fully supports the newly released NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model and the NVIDIA NeMo Switchyard open source routing library, delivering an AI computing solution with extreme performance and full data sovereignty for global customers.

In always-on agent operational scenarios, every step of a workflow—from gathering context and observing environments to reasoning and taking action—requires language models to drive execution. However, not every step demands massive, flagship frontier models. High-volume, repetitive, and domain-specific tasks are far better suited for specialized models that maximize computing efficiency and minimize latency. NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is purpose-built to handle these heavy execution layers in Agentic AI systems. It can be combined with the NeMo Switchyard open source model routing library to, create a system of models that selects the right model for each agent step based on workflow requirements, enabling AI agents to complete specialized tasks with maximum efficiency and precision.

Distilled from NVIDIAs frontier Nemotron 3 Ultra model, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is a highly customizable open model designed specifically to power always-on AI agents:
● Fastest Task Completion with Up to 4x Throughput
Built on a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 30B parameters and 3B active parameters, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning achieves up to 4x higher throughput compared to same-class models. Its fastest token generation and token rollout drastically shorten response times across complex multi-turn conversations and automated workflows.

● Leading Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) Accuracy
Trained for popular agent harnesses, the model delivers industry-leading out-of-the-box accuracy for coding, tool calling, and instruction following. With support for up to a 1M context length, it effortlessly handles long-context retrieval and multi-turn workflows.

● Full Model Control & Ultimate Data Privacy
As an open model, enterprises can control, customize, and deploy Nemotron 3.5 Lightning locally, at the edge, or in the cloud, with full capability for domain-specific post-training. Sensitive data remains within the local network during both training and inference, ensuring maximum privacy and enterprise security control.

● Extensive Hardware Ecosystem & Deployment Flexibility
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning supports a broad hardware ecosystem—ranging from edge-based NVIDIA Jetson devices, local personal systems (NVIDIA RTX / RTX PRO), and workstations (NVIDIA DGX Spark / NVIDIA DGX Station) to datacenter servers (NVIDIA HGX H100 / HGX H200 / GB200 NVL72 / GB300 NVL72)—allowing organizations to run AI agents anywhere.

Powered by NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard routing technology, specialized AI agent workflows across key industries are fully unlocked:
● Personal Agents: Power assistants running locally on PCs or workstations to efficiently handle everyday tasks like email, calendar, projects, and bookings while safeguarding personal privacy.
● Software Development: Target specialized tasks like PR summarization, code classification, and test triage.
● Cybersecurity Operations: Enable agents for alert enrichment, incident classification, log query, and structured report generation.
● Financial Services & Healthcare Administration: Automate routine workflows such as cross-document data extraction, policy rule verification, appointment scheduling, billing, and standardized communications.
● Telecom & Retail: Triage network alarms, answer billing questions, resolve order and inventory exceptions, and enrich product catalogs.

Through flexible hardware design and superior system thermal performance, GIGABYTE unleashes the full potential of NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning across diverse on-premises scenarios. For desktop and personal AI supercomputing requirements, GIGABYTE pairs its AI TOP ATOM desktop AI supercomputer with NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, enabling developers to easily deploy, post-train, and run Nemotron 3.5 Lightning directly at their desks—seamlessly bridging edge and enterprise computing ecosystems.

Statement from GIGABYTE:
"We are proud to maintain our close collaboration with NVIDIA to offer immediate support for the latest Nemotron 3.5 Lightning model and NeMo Switchyard model routing library. Whether on datacenter servers or the compact AI TOP ATOM desktop platform, GIGABYTE delivers superior hardware support to help global enterprises and developers build secure, high-performance, and autonomous Agentic AI infrastructure."
