Where Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B sits on price
At $0.24 per million output tokens, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B is a budget tier model — 8.3× cheaper than the median output price of $2.00, which puts it in the cheapest 10% of everything we track. It sits 3th cheapest of the 5 NVIDIA models we track. Output costs 4.0× input, the usual spread — trim both, starting with the answer length.
What real workloads cost on Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B
These three workloads are the ones teams actually run on a budget-priced model — a $0.24/1M model is not bought for the same job as one ten times the price.
| Workload | Per request | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume classification — 200K requests/day (400 in / 20 out) Short output, huge volume: the input price dominates the bill. | $0 | $173 |
| Small app — 1K requests/day (500 in / 150 out) The baseline most side projects actually run at. | $0.0001 | $1.98 |
| Document pipeline — 10K docs/day (3K in / 500 out) Batch-friendly: no user waiting, so a ~50% batch discount usually applies. | $0.0003 | $90.00 |

Frequently asked questions
› How much does the Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B API cost?
Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B costs $0.06 per million input tokens and $0.24 per million output tokens and no discounted cached-input tier. That works out to roughly 4,166,667 output tokens per dollar.
› What does the high-volume classification workload cost on Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B?
High-volume classification — 200K requests/day (400 in / 20 out) costs about $0 per request and $173 per month on Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B. Short output, huge volume: the input price dominates the bill.
› What does it cost to fill Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B's 262K context window?
Sending 262K of input in a single request costs $0.0157 at $0.06 per million tokens — before any output. There is no cached-input tier on this model, so every repeat of that context is billed at full price. This is why large context windows are cheap to advertise and expensive to actually use.
› Is Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B worth the price?
Nemotron 3 Nano 30B A3B is in the cheapest end of the market — cheaper than 92% of the models we track. At this price the question is not cost but capability: it is a good fit for classification, extraction, routing and bulk summarisation, and a poor fit for multi-step reasoning where a wrong answer costs more than the tokens saved.
