Ollama announced that NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B is now available via ollama run nemotron-3.5-bolt.
- A vision-language model built for everyday local agentic tasks: 74B total parameters, 9B active per token, with native 2-bit quantization so it fits in 24GB of memory alongside other apps.
- Combines a Mamba-2/Transformer mixture-of-experts backbone with a C-RADIO vision encoder; distilled from Nemotron 3.5 Super via compression and further training. Supports vision, tool use, and thinking modes.
- 256K context window, 25GB download; docs include CLI, cURL, Python, and JavaScript examples.
- Launchable directly with Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw.
