Migrating to Nemotron Nano 9B V2 (free)

Coming from OpenAI or another gateway? On an OpenAI-compatible setup the only changes are base_url → https://api.datallmlab.com/v1 and model → nvidia/nemotron-nano-9b-v2:free. Messages, streaming, tool calls and the rest of your code stay the same. Routing & failover guide.

Self-host or use the API?

Nemotron Nano 9B V2 (free) ships open weights (nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, ~791.6K downloads and 498 likes in the last 30 days), with community quantizations (bf16) for smaller GPUs, so you can run it yourself. Most teams still use the API: no GPU to provision or keep warm, no inference ops, and instant access across 1 providers with automatic failover. Self-host when data residency or fixed per-token economics matter most.

Rate limits & reliability

Rate limits here are the DataLLM Lab gateway's, not the upstream vendor's. On 429 (rate limited) or 503 (provider busy), retry with exponential backoff. See the error-code guide and failover setup.
