NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard for Faster Agentic AI

NVIDIA has launched Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, a new model optimized for speed and efficiency in agentic workloads, alongside NeMo Switchyard, a framework designed to route and orchestrate AI agents across RTX and DGX hardware. The release targets developers building multi-agent systems who need low-latency inference without sacrificing task-execution quality. NeMo Switchyard specifically addresses a key pain point in agentic architectures: intelligent task routing between models and compute resources. Together, these tools lower the barrier to deploying production-grade agentic pipelines on NVIDIA hardware. Developers working on autonomous agents or complex orchestration layers should evaluate both for integration into their existing NeMo-based stacks.
