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**Beam 1.0.** The Reflection API is OpenAI-compatible, with an OpenAPI document, strict structured outputs and tool calls, and error codes that say when to retry, and the weights are Apache-2.0. It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call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### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL or Beam 1.0?\n\nNemotron 3.5 Super VL scores 58.9 (C) on agent readiness against Beam 1.0's 53.4 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Beam 1.0 leads on schema \u0026 documentation and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Beam 1.0 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Beam 1.0 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Nemotron 3.5 Super VL has a hosted endpoint at https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1 and Beam 1.0 at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-super-vl-vs-reflection-beam.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemotron-3-5-super-vl-vs-reflection-beam.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nemotron-3-5-super-vl\", \"b\": \"reflection-beam\"}`.
