SAVRN's Notes on NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-NVFP4

Start with the context: 262,144 tokens. NVIDIA built Nemotron 3 Nano as a single model for both reasoning and non-reasoning work: it writes a reasoning trace first, then the answer, and a flag in the chat template turns the reasoning on or off. This NVFP4 build is the quantized version of the BF16 release, with 128 routed experts. At 4-bit the weights are 9.1 GB and the run needs 10.9 GB, so the cheapest listed setup, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 an hour, leaves most of the card for context.

The license is listed as other with no summary on the page, so read NVIDIA's terms yourself before this goes near a product. Check the dates too: pre-training cutoff June 25, 2025, post-training November 28, 2025. The seven Nemotron training sets are named on the page, so you can see what went in.

Nemotron-Nano-3-30B-A3B-NVFP4 is a quantized version of Nemotron-Nano-3-30B-A3B and is a large language model (LLM) trained from scratch by NVIDIA, and designed as a unified model for both reasoning and non-reasoning tasks. It responds to user queries and tasks by first generating a reasoning trace and then concluding with a final response. The model's reasoning capabilities can be configured through a flag in the chat template. If the user prefers the model to provide its final answer without intermediate reasoning traces, it can be…

SeedLM keeps each block of 8 weights as a 16-bit seed of a linear feedback shift register (LFSR), 4 coefficients and an exponent. The GPU makes the weights again from the seed at run time. The paper used an FPGA for this. This model uses Metal kernels on the Mac GPU. This is a research proof of concept.

Ornith

Chirp Chirp! We are introducing Ornith-1.5, a major step toward building foundation models through end-to-end self-improvement. Ornith-1.5 extends Ornith-1.0 (which was developed on top of Qwen3.5 and Gemma4 with additional continued pretraining, mid-training, and post-training) by expanding the self-improvement loop from scaffold and rollout optimization to jointly optimizing task generation, scaffold construction, and solution rollouts. Rather than relying on a fixed set of human-curated tasks and manually designed harnesses, Ornith-1.5 continuously generates new training tasks, discovers effective strategies for solving them, and improves the policy through reinforcement learning.
