Description

Nemotron-Nano-3-30B-A3B-FP8 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 configured to do so, albeit with a slight decrease in accuracy for harder prompts that require reasoning. Conversely, allowing the model to generate reasoning traces first generally results in higher-quality final solutions to queries and tasks.

The model employs a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, consisting of 23 Mamba-2 and MoE layers, along with 6 Attention layers. Each MoE layer includes 128 experts plus 1 shared expert, with 6 experts activated per token. The model has 3.5B active parameters and 30B parameters in total.

The supported languages include: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. Improved using Qwen.

This model is ready for commercial use.

Training Methodology

Stage 1: Pre-Training

• NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-Base-BF16 model was pre-trained using crawled and synthetic code, math, science, and general knowledge data. All datasets are disclosed in the Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets section of this document. Major portions of the pre-training corpus are released in the Nemotron-Pre-Training-Datasets collection.
• Software used for pre-training: Megatron-LM

Stage 2: Supervised Fine-Tuning

• The model was further fine-tuned on synthetic code, math, science, tool calling, instruction following, structured outputs, and general knowledge data. All datasets are disclosed in the Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets section of this document. Major portions of the fine-tuning corpus are released in the Nemotron-Post-Training-v3 collection. Data Designer is one of the libraries used to prepare these corpora.
• Software used for supervised fine-tuning: Megatron-LM

Stage 3: Reinforcement Learning

• The model underwent multi-environment reinforcement learning using synchronous GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) across math, code, science, instruction following, multi-step tool use, multi-turn conversations, and structured output environments. Conversational quality was further refined through RLHF using a generative reward model. All datasets are disclosed in the Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets section of this document. The RL environments and datasets are released as part of NeMo Gym.
• Software used for reinforcement learning: NeMo RL, NeMo Gym

Stage 4: Post-Training Quantization

• The model including the KV cache was quantized into FP8. To preserve accuracy while improving efficiency, we applied a selective quantization strategy, keeping the attention layers and the Mamba layers that feed into those attention layers in BF16.
• Software used for quantization: Model Optimizer

NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8 model is a result of the above work.

The end-to-end training recipe is available in the NVIDIA Nemotron Developer Repository. Evaluation results can be replicated using the NeMo Evaluator SDK. More details on the datasets and synthetic data generation methods can be found in the technical report NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano.

Quick Start Guide

Use it with Transformers

The snippet below shows how to use this model with Huggingface Transformers (tested on version 4.57.3). We recommend using NeMo Framework 25.11.01 to ensure all required libraries are available.

Please note that the model supports up to a 1M context size, although the default context size in the Hugging Face configuration is 256k due to higher VRAM requirements.

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

# Load tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map="auto"
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about GPUs"},
]

tokenized_chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(
    tokenized_chat,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    temperature=1.0,
    top_p=1.0,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

temperature=1.0 and top_p=1.0 are recommended for reasoning tasks, while temperature=0.6 and top_p=0.95 are recommended for tool calling.

If you’d like to use reasoning off, add enable_thinking=False to apply_chat_template(). By default, enable_thinking is set to be True.

tokenized_chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    enable_thinking=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

# Use Greedy Search for reasoning off
outputs = model.generate(
    tokenized_chat,
    max_new_tokens=32,
    do_sample=False,
    num_beams=1,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Use it with vLLM

For more detailed information on how to use the model with vLLM, please see this cookbook. If you are on Jetson Thor or DGX Spark, please use this vllm container.

pip install -U "vllm>=0.12.0"

Download the custom parser from the Hugging Face repository.

wget https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8/resolve/main/nano_v3_reasoning_parser.py

Launch a vLLM server using the custom parser.

  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder \
  --reasoning-parser-plugin nano_v3_reasoning_parser.py \
  --reasoning-parser nano_v3 \
  --kv-cache-dtype fp8

In the example above, we use a context length of 256k. You can increase the context size up to 1M to support longer contexts. To enable this, set the VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 environment variable as shown below:

VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 \
VLLM_USE_FLASHINFER_MOE_FP8=1 \
vllm serve nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8 \

  --reasoning-parser-plugin nano_v3_reasoning_parser.py \
  --reasoning-parser nano_v3 \
  --kv-cache-dtype fp8

Here is an example client code for vLLM. By default, the endpoint has reasoning enabled. We recommend setting a high value (e.g., 10,000) for max_tokens.

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "model",
        "messages":[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about GPUs"}],
        "max_tokens": 10000
    }'

If you’d like to use reasoning off with vLLM, you can do the following:
vLLM OpenAI curl request:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "model",
        "messages":[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about GPUs"}],
        "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": false}
    }'

Using Budget Control

The thinking budget allows developers to keep accuracy high and meet response‑time targets - which is especially crucial for customer support, autonomous agent steps, and edge devices where every millisecond counts.

With budget control, you can set a limit for internal reasoning:

• reasoning_budget: This is a threshold that will attempt to end the reasoning trace at the next newline encountered in the reasoning trace. If no newline is encountered within 500 tokens, it will abruptly end the reasoning trace at reasoning_budget + 500.

NOTE: This client will work with any OpenAI API compatible endpoint.

Client for supporting budget control:

from typing import Any, Dict, List

import openai
from transformers import AutoTokenizer


class ThinkingBudgetClient:
   def __init__(self, base_url: str, api_key: str, tokenizer_name_or_path: str):
       self.base_url = base_url
       self.api_key = api_key
       self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(tokenizer_name_or_path)
       self.client = openai.OpenAI(base_url=self.base_url, api_key=self.api_key)


   def chat_completion(
       self,
       model: str,
       messages: List[Dict[str, Any]],
       reasoning_budget: int = 512,
       max_tokens: int = 1024,
       **kwargs,
   ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
       assert (
           max_tokens > reasoning_budget
       ), f"thinking budget must be smaller than maximum new tokens. Given {max_tokens=} and {reasoning_budget=}"


       # 1. first call chat completion to get reasoning content
       response = self.client.chat.completions.create(
           model=model, messages=messages, max_tokens=reasoning_budget, **kwargs
       )
       content = response.choices[0].message.content


       reasoning_content = content
       if not "</think>" in reasoning_content:
           # reasoning content is too long, closed with a period (.)
           reasoning_content = f"{reasoning_content}.\n</think>\n\n"
       reasoning_tokens_len = len(
           self.tokenizer.encode(reasoning_content, add_special_tokens=False)
       )
       remaining_tokens = max_tokens - reasoning_tokens_len
       assert (
           remaining_tokens > 0
       ), f"remaining tokens must be positive. Given {remaining_tokens=}. Increase the max_tokens or lower the reasoning_budget."


       # 2. append reasoning content to messages and call completion
       messages.append({"role": "assistant", "content": reasoning_content})
       prompt = self.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
           messages,
           tokenize=False,
           continue_final_message=True,
       )
       response = self.client.completions.create(
           model=model, prompt=prompt, max_tokens=remaining_tokens, **kwargs
       )


       response_data = {
           "reasoning_content": reasoning_content.strip().strip("</think>").strip(),
           "content": response.choices[0].text,
           "finish_reason": response.choices[0].finish_reason,
       }
       return response_data

Calling the server with a budget (Restricted to 32 tokens here as an example)

tokenizer_name_or_path = "nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8"
client = ThinkingBudgetClient(
   base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",  # Nemotron 3 Nano deployed in thinking mode
   api_key="EMPTY",
   tokenizer_name_or_path=tokenizer_name_or_path,
)


result = client.chat_completion(
   model="nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-FP8",
   messages=[
       {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. /think"},
       {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"},
   ],
   reasoning_budget=32,
   max_tokens=512,
   temperature=1.0,
   top_p=1.0,
)
print(result)

You should see output similar to the following:

{'reasoning_content': "Okay, the user asked, What is 2+2? Let me think. Well, 2 plus 2 equals 4. That's a basic.", 'content': '2 + 2 equals **4**.\n', 'finish_reason': 'stop'}

NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 is pre-trained on a large corpus of high-quality curated and synthetically-generated data. It is trained in the English language, as well as 19 other languages and 43 programming languages. Our sources cover a variety of document types such as: webpages, dialogue, articles, and other written materials. The corpus spans domains including legal, math, science, finance, and more. We also include a small portion of question-answering, and alignment style data to improve model accuracy. The model was trained for approximately 25 trillion tokens.

The post-training corpus for NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 of high-quality curated and synthetically-generated data. Primary languages used for post-training include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese.

These datasets, such as FinePDFs, EssentialWeb, HotpotQA, SQuAD, and HelpSteer3, do not collectively or exhaustively represent all demographic groups (and proportionally therein). For instance, these datasets do not contain explicit mentions of demographic classes such as age, gender, or ethnicity in 64-99% of samples, depending on the source. In the subset where such terms are present, document-based datasets (FinePDFs and EssentialWeb) contain representational skews, such as references to "male" outnumbering those to "female", and mentions of "White" as the most frequent among ethnic identifiers (comprising 43-44% of ethnicity mentions). To mitigate these imbalances, we recommend considering evaluation techniques such as bias audits, fine-tuning with demographically balanced datasets, and mitigation strategies like counterfactual data augmentation to align with the desired model behavior. This evaluation used a 3,000-sample subset per dataset, identified as the optimal threshold for maximizing embedder accuracy.

During post-training, we generate synthetic data by distilling trajectories, solutions, and translations from strong teacher models and agent systems, often grounded in real tasks or documents and aggressively filtered for quality. For math, code, and science, we start from curated problem sets and use open source permissive models such as GPT-OSS-120B to produce step-by-step reasoning traces, candidate solutions, best-of-n selection traces, and verified CUDA kernels. For long-context and science, we build synthetic QA and reasoning data by retrieving passages from long documents, generating MCQ/OpenQA questions and answers, and paraphrasing them via into multiple prompt/response formats to ensure diversity. Across all pipelines we stack automated verification—compilers, numerical checks, language identification—to ensure our data is high quality.

For all domains, we apply a unified data filtering pipeline to ensure that only high-quality, license-compliant, and verifiable samples are used for post-training. We first discard malformed examples using structural checks (e.g., missing tool definitions when tool calls are present). We then aggressively filter reasoning traces exhibiting pathological repetition, such as repeated n-grams within a sliding window or across the entire trajectory, which we found to be a strong indicator of malformed or low-quality reasoning. Finally, based on internal audits of synthetically generated datasets, we observed that some teacher models occasionally produce reasoning traces and final responses that implicitly align with specific political entities or promote nationalistic narratives. To mitigate this, we apply targeted keyword- and regex-based filters and remove all trajectories matching such behavior.

Alongside the model, we release our final pre-training and post-training data, as outlined in this section. For ease of analysis, there is a sample set that is ungated. For all remaining code, math and multilingual data, gating and approval is required, and the dataset is permissively licensed for model training purposes.

More details on the datasets and synthetic data generation methods can be found in the technical report NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano. Data Designer is one of the libraries used to prepare the pre and post training datasets.

Private Non-publicly Accessible Datasets of Third Parties

Private Non-publicly Accessible Datasets by NVIDIA

Crawled and Scraped from Online Sources by NVIDIA

The English Common Crawl data was downloaded from the Common Crawl Foundation (see their FAQ for details on their crawling) and includes the snapshots CC-MAIN-2013-20 through CC-MAIN-2025-13. The data was subsequently deduplicated and filtered in various ways described in the Nemotron-CC paper. Additionally, we extracted data for fifteen languages from the following three Common Crawl snapshots: CC-MAIN-2024-51, CC-MAIN-2025-08, CC-MAIN-2025-18. The fifteen languages included were Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Thai. As we did not have reliable multilingual model-based quality classifiers available, we applied just heuristic filtering instead—similar to what we did for lower quality English data in the Nemotron-CC pipeline, but selectively removing some filters for some languages that did not work well. Deduplication was done in the same way as for Nemotron-CC.

The GitHub Crawl was collected using the GitHub REST API and the Amazon S3 API. Each crawl was operated in accordance with the rate limits set by its respective source, either GitHub or S3. We collect raw source code and subsequently remove any having a license which does not exist in our permissive-license set (for additional details, refer to the technical report).
