ParametersThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality. | 16B/236B | 30B |
Context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider. | 128k | 1M |

Cheapest inputLowest input rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. The cheapest endpoint may run a quantised build or a shorter context — see "Available from" on the model page. | — | $0.00Nvidia |
Cheapest outputLowest output rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. May come from a different provider than the cheapest input. | — | $0.00Nvidia |

SWE-Bench VerifiedCoding — Real coding tasks pulled from open-source projects — the AI has to find and fix actual bugs. A human-checked version of the original SWE-Bench. Higher is better. | — | 51.6% |
GPQA DiamondScience — Graduate-level science questions in biology, physics, and chemistry — hard enough that subject-matter PhDs score around 65%. Higher is better. | — | 75.4% |

DeepSeek Coder V2 and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. DeepSeek Coder V2 shipped 785 days before Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.
DeepSeek Coder V2 has 16B/236B parameters, while Nemotron 3.5 Lightning has 30B. Context windows are 128k (DeepSeek Coder V2) vs 1M (Nemotron 3.5 Lightning). DeepSeek Coder V2 is open weight, while Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is open source.
Direct benchmark comparisons are unavailable — DeepSeek Coder V2 and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks.
