NVIDIA: Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety (free)

nvidia/nemotron-3.5-content-safety:free

NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety is a compact 4B-parameter multimodal guardrail model from NVIDIA, fine-tuned from Google Gemma-3-4B. It moderates both inputs to and responses from LLMs and VLMs, accepting text and image input and returning text output: a safe/unsafe classification for the user prompt and the response, safety category labels, and an optional reasoning trace. It covers 12 languages with a context window of up to 128K tokens.

It is suited for prompt and response moderation, content classification, safety pipelines, and enterprise AI guardrails with policy enforcement, and includes a togglable reasoning mode. It is part of the NVIDIA Nemotron family of open models for agentic AI.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Pricing

List price is the headline rate per million tokens. Effective price is what you actually pay after prompt caching is applied — for repeated context, this can be 60–80% cheaper. The chart below shows the rolling effective price over the past 30 days.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
