About NVIDIA NeMo Megatron
NVIDIA NeMo Megatron is an end-to-end framework for training and deploying LLMs with billions and trillions of parameters. NVIDIA NeMo Megatron, part of the NVIDIA AI platform, offers an easy, efficient, and cost-effective containerized framework to build and deploy LLMs. Designed for enterprise application development, it builds upon the most advanced technologies from NVIDIA research and provides an end-to-end workflow for automated distributed data processing, training large-scale customized GPT-3, T5, and multilingual T5 (mT5) models, and deploying models for inference at scale. Harnessing the power of LLMs is made easy through validated and converged recipes with predefined configurations for training and inference. Customizing models is simplified by the hyperparameter tool, which automatically searches for the best hyperparameter configurations and performance for training and inference on any given distributed GPU cluster configuration.

Nemotron 3 Ultra
Nemotron 3 Nano is a compact, open large language model in NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 family, designed for efficient agentic reasoning, conversational AI, and coding tasks. It uses a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts Mamba-Transformer architecture that activates only a small subset of parameters per token, enabling low-latency inference while maintaining strong accuracy and reasoning performance. It has approximately 31.6 billion total parameters with around 3.2 billion active (3.6 billion including embeddings), allowing it to achieve higher accuracy than previous Nemotron 2 Nano while using less computation per forward pass. Nemotron 3 Nano supports long-context processing of up to one million tokens, enabling it to handle large documents, multi-step workflows, and extended reasoning chains in a single pass. It is designed for high-throughput, real-time execution, excelling in multi-turn conversations, tool calling, and agent-based workflows where tasks require planning, reasoning, and more.

Megatron-Turing
Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation model (MT-NLG), is the largest and the most powerful monolithic transformer English language model with 530 billion parameters. This 105-layer, transformer-based MT-NLG improves upon the prior state-of-the-art models in zero-, one-, and few-shot settings. It demonstrates unmatched accuracy in a broad set of natural language tasks such as, Completion prediction, Reading comprehension, Commonsense reasoning, Natural language inferences, Word sense disambiguation, etc.
With the intent of accelerating research on the largest English language model till date and enabling customers to experiment, employ and apply such a large language model on downstream language tasks - NVIDIA is pleased to announce an Early Access program for its managed API service to MT-NLG mode.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt is a family of open artificial intelligence models designed for local AI agents, autonomous task execution, and conversational applications. The family includes Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B, a 74-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with approximately 9 billion active parameters, and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, a compact model optimized for conversational agents. The 74B-A9B variant uses native 2-bit quantization to operate within approximately 24GB of memory on compatible NVIDIA hardware. Its agentic capabilities support web research, software development, code debugging, and multistep task automation without requiring cloud-based inference. The E4B variant targets local voice assistants, interactive characters, and embedded applications with a 4GB memory footprint. Nemotron 3.5 Bolt supports deployment on NVIDIA RTX systems, DGX Spark, and other compatible hardware, giving developers greater control over inference, application data, and local AI workflows.

Cerebras-GPT
State-of-the-art language models are extremely challenging to train; they require huge compute budgets, complex distributed compute techniques and deep ML expertise. As a result, few organizations train large language models (LLMs) from scratch. And increasingly those that have the resources and expertise are not open sourcing the results, marking a significant change from even a few months back.
At Cerebras, we believe in fostering open access to the most advanced models. With this in mind, we are proud to announce the release to the open source community of Cerebras-GPT, a family of seven GPT models ranging from 111 million to 13 billion parameters. Trained using the Chinchilla formula, these models provide the highest accuracy for a given compute budget. Cerebras-GPT has faster training times, lower training costs, and consumes less energy than any publicly available model to date.
