About

About NVIDIA

NVIDIA, the world's leading GPU manufacturer, has become a major open-source AI model publisher. The Nemotron series — RLHF fine-tuned on top of Llama — leads open-source helpfulness rankings while NVIDIA NIM provides containerised model inference optimised for NVIDIA hardware. Nemotron-4 340B was released as a fully open research model, while Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B topped open-source model rankings on helpfulness.

Key highlights

  • Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B led open-source helpfulness benchmarks at launch

  • NVIDIA NIM provides production-ready containerised inference for all major models

  • Nemotron-4 340B released fully open for synthetic training data generation

  • Available on NVIDIA API Catalog with a free tier for developers

  • All Nemotron models run optimally on NVIDIA H100/A100 hardware
