Claude Code now supports 240+ models via NVIDIA NIM gateway — including Nemotron-3 120B for agentic coding

Claude Code users have discovered that the built-in /model command lists not only the standard Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) but a full NVIDIA NIM gateway section with 239+ additional models that can be swapped mid-session.

Key models available

• nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b (with and without thinking mode)
• 01-ai/yi-large
• abacusai/dracarys-llama-3.1-70b-instruct
• Hundreds more in the NIM list

Nemotron-3 120B for agentic coding

The Nemotron thinking variant has been tested for multi-file refactoring and reportedly reasons through changes before touching code — ideal for agentic tasks. Latency is higher than Claude, but it can save Claude credits on long sessions.

How to use it

1. Open any Claude Code session
2. Run /model
3. Scroll past the first four Claude options — NIM models appear below
4. Press d to set one as your session default, or pass --model nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b at launch

If you're burning through Opus credits on extended sessions, this is worth experimenting with — especially for Python or Rust codegen.
