Smaug-Nemotron-3.5 released as open-source model for single-machine agents
Local hardware requirements are the practical headline: one DGX Spark, H200 or GB200 means teams can keep agentic coding inside their own infrastructure instead of paying API costs. Builders running open-source agent stacks should compare it against Chinese open models like DeepSeek on agentic coding benchmarks before choosing a default.
