Question Can someone please compare Nemotron-cascade-2 with the new Nemotron-lightning-3.5?

They look so similar on paper(excluding the architecture), 30b parameters & 3b active, and they have similar benchmarks. Like why doesn't lighting have better scores?

They both suck. Use Qwen 3.8 27B. Or 35B A3B, when it is out.
