Four model shutdown dates between 2026-07-17 and 2026-09-21, with no stated minimum notice.\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### GroqCloud\n\n1. Call `/models` at start-up. Four model ids stopped working between July and September\n2. Read `retry-after` on a 429 and the `x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens` header before the next call\n3. Free plan allows 8,000 tokens a minute on gpt-oss, so keep prompts small or batch them\n4. Don't build on Qwen 3.8 27B. It's a preview and previews can go at short notice\n5. Treat a 498 as Flex capacity and retry later; server errors aren't billed\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, GroqCloud or Nemotron 3.5 Super VL?\n\nGroqCloud scores 74.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Nemotron 3.5 Super VL's 58.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Nemotron 3.5 Super VL leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Do GroqCloud and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call GroqCloud and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL without installing anything?\n\nYes. GroqCloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/groq-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"groq\", \"b\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\"}`.
