Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 18, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-4B-BF16

Where in the rack does a 4 billion parameter reasoning model belong? At 16-bit it runs in 9.5 GB, at 8-bit in 4.8 GB, at 4-bit in 2.4 GB. The Index's cheapest fit is a single MI300X at $1.85 an hour on-demand, and its 192 GB is more than one copy needs. NVIDIA trained it from scratch for reasoning and non-reasoning work: it writes a reasoning trace before the final answer, and a system prompt switches the trace off, which sets how many output tokens each request burns.

The license field reads other, with no summary on our side, so the terms come from NVIDIA, not a standard license; read them before production. Measure your longest inputs against the 262,144 token window, note the September 2024 pretraining cutoff and the lineage: derived from NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, trained on seven named NVIDIA sets, Nemotron-CC-v2 to Nemotron-Math-Proofs-v1. No per-token host prices are listed.

Model Card

Dec 2025 \- Jan 2026 September 2024 The pretraining data has a cutoff date of September 2024\. NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-4B-BF16 is a small language model (SLM) 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 controlled via a system prompt. If the user prefers the model to provide its final answer without intermediate reasoning traces, it can be configured to do so, albeit with a slight decrease in accuracy for harder prompts that require reasoning. Conversely, allowing the…
