Retention Verification: no verified privacy claim. W&B Serverless Inference runs on CoreWeave infrastructure. W&B does not publish a zero-retention, confidential-compute, or end-to-end-encryption commitment for this service, so these routes use the Standard privacy tier. TrustedRouter does not enable W&B Weave tracing for provider calls. Location Operator country: US Headquarters / registered office: Not verified.

Retention Verification: no verified privacy claim. NVIDIA's hosted NIM API Catalog endpoints are preview services for development and prototyping. TrustedRouter exposes chat-capable models from its configured API Catalog key as Standard routes. NVIDIA requires an NVIDIA AI Enterprise entitlement for production deployments. NVIDIA does not publish hosted preview token rates, so TrustedRouter uses a conservative fallback price and excludes these routes from price indexing. Location Operator country: US Headquarters / registered office: Not verified. Inference: Inference location not verified; no country-specific residency commitment. No inference-location declaration has been verified for this provider. Region pinning through TR: No verified provider-specific location pin documented here.

Questions
What model ID should I use for nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B?
Use nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b as the model field with the TrustedRouter OpenAI-compatible API. Credits routing and provider fallback happen behind that model ID.
Do you log my prompts or outputs?
No. Prompt and output content are intentionally excluded from the control plane and metadata systems. Optional content export requires explicit destination-level configuration.
Which providers serve nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B?
TrustedRouter currently lists Crusoe, NVIDIA NIM, and Weights & Biases for nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B. Provider availability and routing eligibility can change as catalog and health data update.
How much does nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B cost through TrustedRouter?
The current lowest Credits input price is $0.05275/1M and the lowest Credits output price is $0.211/1M. Prices are per one million tokens and come from the current route catalog.
How do I require zero data retention for nvidia/Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B?
Set provider.min_privacy to zdr on the request. TrustedRouter considers only routes with a recorded zero-data-retention posture and fails closed if no eligible route remains.
