We present our new grids of NLTE model atmospheres for hot subdwarf O (sdO) stars computed with the public codes TLUSTY and SYNSPEC and including the effects of metal line blanketing. Until recently, large grids of NLTE models could not be practically computed over reasonable timescales, and have remained unavailable for quantitative spectroscopic analyses of this category of hot stars. We solved the problem by adapting TLUSTY and SYNSPEC to run in parallel mode on a small dedicated cluster of 80 fast processors. We present a comparison of three different NLTE grids including different elements. By fitting synthetic spectra from a given grid with another one, we obtain ``maps'' showing the line blanketing effects of metals, i.e., the differences between the real atmospheric parameters (Teff and log g) and the ones inferred by the fitting procedure. Finally, we present the results of the spectral analysis of SDSS J1600+0748, this unique pulsating sdO star, using our different grids of NLTE model atmospheres.
