Nemotron 3.5 Lightning lands firmly on the Intelligence / Speed Pareto Frontier.

A model reaches a speed-capability frontier when no tested alternative improves both measures at once. Alex Cheema's chart places Nemotron 3.5 Lightning on that boundary: it shows a local.ai Intelligence Index score of 62.9 and task time of 1 minute 52 seconds, versus 61.0 and 2 minutes 11 seconds for Holo 3.1 35B A3B.

Lightning therefore improves both plotted measures over Holo in this comparison. Other plotted models still offer higher scores or shorter task times, so its frontier position represents one useful tradeoff among the tested configurations.
