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**OpenRouter.** Public OpenAPI document, llms.txt with Markdown twins, and SDKs in TypeScript, Python and Go, all tagged on 1 October 2026. No machine payment. USDC top-ups go to a prepaid balance.\n\n## Before you call either\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### OpenRouter\n\n1. Set `provider.data_collection: \"deny\"` or `provider.zdr: true` when the prompt holds anything private\n2. Pass a `models` list so a failed provider falls through to the next one\n3. Honour `Retry-After` on 429 and 503, and check the stream body for errors even on a 200\n4. Set `max_price` so a routed request can't land on an expensive provider\n5. Free models allow 50 requests a day until $10 of credit has been bought. Check `GET /api/v1/key` for what's left\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL or OpenRouter?\n\nOpenRouter scores 68.5 (B) on agent readiness against Nemotron 3.5 Super VL's 58.9 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and OpenRouter need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and OpenRouter without installing anything?\n\nYes. Nemotron 3.5 Super VL has a hosted endpoint at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 and OpenRouter at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-super-vl-vs-openrouter.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-super-vl-vs-openrouter.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\", \"b\": \"openrouter\"}`.
