In brief

What NVIDIA announced

On 15 Oct 2026, NVIDIA released NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL — open model for specialised work, claims to check for chat / reasoning work. Post-trained open model aimed at specialised tasks; enterprises still need licensing and workload results before building on it.

What it costs, and who can use it today

Price: Not published in the sources checked — check the official website. Access: Open-weight. Availability: Reported 15 Oct 2026. A token, where prices are per million tokens, is roughly part of a word; prices are per million tokens processed, not per message. Open-weight means downloadable weights — check the licence for commercial use, because downloadable does not automatically mean unrestricted.

Why it matters

A benchmark claim is not a deployment decision. We print the claim, name the source, and keep the “check licensing first” warning with it.

What to check before you rely on it

Benchmark figures in this article, where given, are reported figures from the maker or from named coverage — they are not tests run by AI Updates.

Sources

Official — NVIDIA — official website (homepage — announcement page not verified; this link does not by itself verify the launch facts below)

Also checked: VentureBeat category page, 15 Oct 2026 — not a single article link — a calendar or category page verifies date, lab and type only, not price or access.

Official sources are listed first, because a lab’s own announcement or product page is the primary source for price, access and availability. Secondary coverage is listed second, and is never used to upgrade an unverified figure into a settled fact.

Corrections: see Corrections for dated corrections already applied to this site, including the Kimi, Muse Wonder, Mistral and Duet corrections. If a price, date or access rule on this page has changed, it will be corrected here with a dated note. Last checked 25 Oct 2026. Prices and availability can change after the checked date — confirm on the provider page.
