Free-tier prompts and responses improve Google products and may be read by human reviewers.\n\n**Nemotron 3.5 Super VL.** NVIDIA's free endpoint takes OpenAI-format requests with typed tool calls, JSON Schema output and an OpenAPI 3.1 file, and the weights run anywhere under a permissive licence. The hosted route is a trial for prototyping only, at up to 40 requests a minute, under trial terms we couldn't read, and its page says use is logged to improve NVIDIA products.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini Developer API\n\n1. Never send customer data through a free-tier key. Link billing first\n2. Don't request Gemini 4 Argon here. It has no Developer API model ID as of 5 October 2026\n3. Back off exponentially on 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED and 503, and don't retry 400, 402 or 403\n4. Stop sending temperature, top_p and top_k. They've been deprecated since 2026-07-21\n5. Validate structured output yourself. The docs don't promise schema-constrained decoding\n\n### Nemotron 3.5 Super VL\n\n1. Set `chat_template_kwargs` to `{\"enable_thinking\": false}` for short tasks. Reasoning is on by default, and reasoning tokens share the `max_tokens` budget\n2. Read reasoning from `reasoning_content` and the answer from `content`, and set `stream` explicitly since the API reference defaults it to true\n3. Don't send confidential or personal data to the hosted trial. The model page asks callers not to and says use is logged\n4. Back off and retry on throttling. Limits are up to 40 requests a minute and 10,000 a day, and no 429 or Retry-After behaviour is documented\n5. For production, use a partner endpoint or serve the weights. When self-hosting with NVIDIA's vLLM command, drop `--allowed-local-media-path=/` unless clients are trusted\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini Developer API or Nemotron 3.5 Super VL?\n\nGemini Developer API scores 65.5 (B) on agent readiness against Nemotron 3.5 Super VL's 58.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
