Nemotron 3's technical principles

• Hybrid Expert Hybrid (MoE) ArchitectureThe Nemotron 3 Nano employs a unique hybrid MoE architecture, which achieves higher throughput and lower inference costs while maintaining high computational efficiency by dynamically activating some parameters (such as up to 3 billion parameters activated at a time in the Nano model).
• Reinforcement learning and multi-environment trainingThe model uses advanced reinforcement learning techniques to train concurrently in multiple environments, improving the accuracy and adaptability of reasoning.
• Efficient training formatThe Nemotron 3 Super and Ultra use NVIDIA's 4-bit NVFP4 training format, which significantly reduces memory requirements, accelerates the training process, and maintains accuracy comparable to high-precision formats.
• Large-scale pre-trained datasetsIt provides a pre-trained, post-trained, and reinforcement learning dataset containing 3 trillion tokens, offering rich examples of inference, coding, and multi-step workflows for models, and supporting domain specialization.
