Questions

Which should I use, DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B?

Is DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B cheaper?

The current cheapest TrustedRouter route is $0.28485/1M for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and $0.26375/1M for nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B. The comparison uses current catalog prices and updates as provider pricing changes.

Is DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B faster?

Current measured p50 time to first token is not enough data for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and not enough data for nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B. These are routed probe measurements, not vendor-advertised speeds, and update as new samples arrive.

Can I test DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B with the same API?

Yes. Use the same OpenAI-compatible TrustedRouter base URL and API key, then change only the model id between deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash and nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b. This makes side-by-side evals possible without maintaining two provider integrations.
