NVIDIA Releases Open-Source 30B Nemotron Model Optimized for AI Agents
DeryaTR_ · x · 2026-08-12
Following Meta's releases, NVIDIA has introduced Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, an open-weights 30B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 3B active parameters.
Designed for always-on agents, the model is built to handle high-volume, specialized tasks rapidly, delivering up to 4x the output speed of similar-sized models. It is now available on Hugging Face and can be post-trained using the NVIDIA NeMo framework for domain-specific applications across cybersecurity, coding, legal, and energy tasks.
