Nemotron 3 Ultra: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

Nemotron 3 Ultra is a 550B parameter hybrid Mamba-Attention mixture-of-experts language model, pre-trained on 20T tokens, extended to 1M context, and post-trained with SFT, RL, and MOPD. It achieves up to 6x higher inference throughput than state-of-the-art LLMs with comparable accuracy, and is open-sourced.

We introduce Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550 billion total and 55 billion active parameter Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Attention language model. We pre-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra on 20 trillion text tokens, then extended the context length to 1M tokens, and post-trained using Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD). Nemotron 3 Ultra is our most capable model yet, employing multiple key technologies - LatentMoE, Multi Token Prediction (MTP), NVFP4 pre-training, multi-environment RLVR, MOPD, and reasoning budget control. Nemotron 3 Ultra achieves up to ~6x higher inference throughput as compared to state-of-the-art publicly available LLMs while attaining on-par accuracy. The state-of-the-art accuracy, high inference throughput, and 1M token context length make Nemotron 3 Ultra ideal for long-running autonomous agentic tasks. We open-source the base, post-trained, and quantized checkpoints, along with the training data and recipe on HuggingFace.

Abstract

Nemotron 3 Ultra is a large-scale language model featuring hybrid Mamba-Attention architecture with 550 billion parameters, achieving high inference throughput and extended context length through specialized training techniques.

We introduce Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550 billion total and 55 billion active parameterMixture-of-ExpertsHybrid Mamba-Attentionlanguage model. We pre-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra on 20 trillion text tokens, then extended the context length to 1M tokens, and post-trained usingSupervised Fine Tuning(SFT),Reinforcement Learning(RL), andMulti-teacher On-Policy Distillation(MOPD). Nemotron 3 Ultra is our most capable model yet, employing multiple key technologies -LatentMoE,Multi Token Prediction(MTP),NVFP4pre-training, multi-environmentRLVR, MOPD, andreasoning budget control. Nemotron 3 Ultra achieves up to ~6x higher inference throughput as compared to state-of-the-art publicly available LLMs while attaining on-par accuracy. The state-of-the-art accuracy, high inference throughput, and 1M token context length make Nemotron 3 Ultra ideal for long-running autonomous agentic tasks. We open-source the base, post-trained, and quantized checkpoints, along with the training data and recipe on HuggingFace.
