Papers
- NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 2: An Accurate and Efficient Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Reasoning Model (2025 · 39 citations)
Reasoning models spend most of their compute producing long chains of thought. In standard Transformers, the attention KV cache makes such long generations slow and memory-hungry. NVIDIA addresses this with Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, which uses the Nemotron-H hybrid design: most self-attention layers are replaced by… - Nemotron-H: A Family of Accurate and Efficient Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Models (2025 · 38 citations)
Self-attention costs grow with sequence length, both in compute per generated token and in KV-cache memory. - OpenCodeReasoning: Advancing Data Distillation for Competitive Coding (2025 · 33 citations)
Distilling reasoning from large models into smaller ones has strongly improved coding performance. However, the best recipes usually depend on closed datasets or say little about how the data was curated. NVIDIA researchers address this with OpenCodeReasoning, a large open supervised fine-tuning corpus for… - Nemotron 3 Nano: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning (2025 · 27 citations)
NVIDIA presents Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B, an open language model for agentic use, reasoning and chat that aims for a better balance between accuracy and inference speed. - Scaling Test-Time Compute to Achieve IOI Gold Medal with Open-Weight Models (2026 · 1 citation)
OpenAI and Google DeepMind report gold-medal results at olympiad-level programming contests, but they have disclosed little about how they did it. Open-weight models have lagged behind. NVIDIA researchers present GenCluster, a test-time compute pipeline that aims for the same level openly and reproducibly.
