Standard-mode content is not used for training. There's no free allowance, status history, OpenAPI file, deprecation policy or way to force a tool call.\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### Meta Model API\n\n1. Use `muse-wonder-1.0` for long multi-step work and `muse-spark-1.3` for cheaper, high-volume calls. Both take the same requests\n2. Keep personal or confidential data away from `-contributor` model IDs. Meta may train on that content\n3. Honour Retry-After on 429 and 503, which is 60 seconds for `service_overloaded`, and check `GET https://api.meta.ai/v1/status`, which needs no key\n4. Pass the key to the OpenAI SDK explicitly or set `OPENAI_API_KEY`. The SDK doesn't read `MODEL_API_KEY`\n5. Leave `tool_choice` at `auto`. The docs say `none` and `required` are not supported\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, Meta Model API or Nemotron 3.5 Super VL?\n\nNemotron 3.5 Super VL scores 58.9 (C) on agent readiness against Meta Model API's 52.2 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Meta Model API leads on agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Meta Model API and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Meta Model API and Nemotron 3.5 Super VL without installing anything?\n\nYes. Meta Model API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.meta.ai/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/meta-model-api-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/meta-model-api-vs-nemotron-3-5-super-vl.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"meta-model-api\", \"b\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\"}`.
