NVIDIA: Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety.
Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety is NVIDIA's 4B moderation model that labels prompts and responses safe or unsafe, with optional image input and custom policies.
1× Nvidia RTX A2000 Laptop GPU.
Most-aggressive quantisation we have a working recommendation for. Lower precision = less VRAM = cheaper hardware, at a small accuracy cost.

Cheapest hardware per quantisation.
Each row is one quantisation tier (the same weights compressed differently). Lower precision → lower VRAM → cheaper hardware, at the cost of small accuracy loss. $/hr refreshed hourly from each provider's API.

Rent the GPU instead of paying per token.
For an open-weights model like NVIDIA: Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety, you can rent a GPU and serve inference yourself. The math: cheapest GPU rental × 730 hours/month + your electricity rate × power draw.
Assumes the GPU runs 24/7 at ~85% utilisation. If your traffic is bursty, you'll pay less for the API and probably more for the GPU (idle hours still cost rental). The breakeven analysis lives on the Self-host vs API breakeven tool.
About NVIDIA: Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety.
Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety is a moderation model from NVIDIA, not a general assistant. It is a 4-billion-parameter fine-tune of Gemma-3-4B-it that checks prompts and responses and labels them safe or unsafe. It takes a prompt, an optional single image, an optional response and an optional custom policy, with up to 128K of context in 12 languages. Standard mode can name violated categories, and custom-policy mode can add a short reasoning trace. It is ready for commercial use under OpenMDW 1.1 and the Gemma terms.
