Can the Arc Pro B60 run Nemotron 3.5 Lightning?
Yes. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning fits the Arc Pro B60's 24 GB at Q4_K_M (about 11.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 26 tok/s. There's room for up to Q8_0 if you want higher quality.

| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 10 GB | 11.8 GB | Fits easily | ~26 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 13 GB | 14.8 GB | Fits | ~20 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 19 GB | 20.8 GB | Tight | ~14 tok/s |
| FP16 | 36 GB | 37.8 GB | Too big | - |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the Arc Pro B60's 456 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the Arc Pro B60 run Nemotron 3.5 Lightning?
Yes. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning fits the Arc Pro B60's 24 GB at Q4_K_M (about 11.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 26 tok/s. There's room for up to Q8_0 if you want higher quality.
How much VRAM does Nemotron 3.5 Lightning need?
About 10 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 19 GB at Q8_0 and 36 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is Nemotron 3.5 Lightning on the Arc Pro B60?
Roughly 26 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the Arc Pro B60's 456 GB/s memory bandwidth.
