What is Nemotron?
NVIDIA Nemotron™ is a family of open models with open weights, training data, and recipes, delivering leading efficiency and accuracy for building specialized AI agents.
Description
NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Teacher-Instruction-Following is a specialized instruction-following model in the Nemotron 3 Ultra family, trained by NVIDIA. It is produced by taking the post-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra student student and applying an additional round of instruction-focused supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, yielding a model with exceptional adherence to explicit constraints, output formats, structured schemas, and multi-part instructions. Within the broader recipe, this is one of more than ten domain-specialized teacher models that supply training signal to Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD), the stage used to produce the final Nemotron 3 Ultra. It is released as a standalone checkpoint because it is a strong instruction-following model in its own right. Like other models in the family, 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.
The model employs a hybrid Latent Mixture-of-Experts (LatentMoE) architecture, utilizing interleaved Mamba-2 and MoE layers, along with select Attention layers. Like the Super model, the Ultra model incorporates Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) layers for faster text generation and improved quality, and it is trained using an NVFP4 pre-training recipe to maximize compute efficiency. The model has 55B active parameters and 550B parameters in total.
The supported languages include: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese.
This model is ready for commercial and non-commercial use.
NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Teacher-Instruction-Following is a specialized instruction-following model intended to be used in English, Code, and supported multilingual contexts. Its primary role is to serve as a domain-specialized teacher for Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) in the Nemotron 3 Ultra recipe. It is released so developers and researchers can use it for instruction-following and structured-output data generation, constraint-adherence grading, and as a teacher within their own distillation and data-generation pipelines. It is well suited to tasks demanding strict compliance with formatting, length, style, and schema constraints.
Architecture Type: Mamba2-Transformer Hybrid Latent Mixture of Experts (LatentMoE) with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)
Network Architecture: Nemotron Hybrid LatentMoE5
Number of model parameters: 550B Total / 55B Active
Model Design
The model utilizes the LatentMoE architecture, where tokens are projected into a smaller latent dimension for expert routing and computation, improving accuracy per byte. The Ultra model is pre-trained using an NVFP4 recipe — sharing the quantization-aware pre-training approach pioneered in the Nemotron 3 family. The majority of linear layers use NVFP4 for weights, activations, and gradients, while select layers (including latent projections, MTP layers, QKV/attention projections, and embeddings) are maintained in BF16 or MXFP8 for training stability. The model includes Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) layers using a shared-weight design across prediction heads. This improves training signal quality, enables faster inference via native speculative decoding, and supports more stable autoregressive drafting at longer draft lengths compared to independently trained offset heads.
Training Methodology
Stage 1: Pre-Training
NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-Base-BF16 model was pre-trained for approximately 20T tokens using crawled and synthetic code, math, science, and general knowledge data. Training leveraged an NVFP4 recipe for efficiency. All datasets are disclosed in the Training and Evaluation Datasets section of this document. Major portions of the pre-training corpus are released in the Nemotron-Pre-Training-Datasets collection.
The model was further fine-tuned on synthetic code, math, science, tool calling, instruction following, structured outputs, and general knowledge data. This stage incorporated data designed to support long-range retrieval and multi-document aggregation. All datasets are disclosed in the Training 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.
Stage 3: Reinforcement Learning
The model underwent multi-environment reinforcement learning using asynchronous GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) across math, code, science, instruction following, multi-step tool use, multi-turn conversations, and structured output environments. It utilized an asynchronous RL architecture that fully decouples training from inference across separate GPU devices, leveraging in-flight weight updates and MTP to accelerate rollout generation. Conversational quality was further refined through RLHF. All datasets are disclosed in the Training and Evaluation Datasets section of this document. The RL environments and datasets are released as part of NeMo Gym.
Starting from the post-trained student produced by Stage 3, the model underwent an additional round of instruction-focused specialization to create a domain-specialized teacher. First, a supervised fine-tuning phase trained the model on a large blend of generated, verified trajectories - predominantly verifiable instruction-following tasks (single- and multi-constraint), with substantial proportions of structured outputs (JSON schema and tool-call schema adherence) and freeform text formatting, and a smaller share of general-domain data. These trajectories were produced primarily by strong teacher models and filtered through automated constraint verification and model-based judging to retain only high-quality, verifiable samples. A subsequent reinforcement learning phase - using the same setup as the base RLVR stage - used programmatic constraint checkers as reward signal across instruction-following and structured-output environments.
The resulting model is one of more than ten domain-specialized teachers that supply training signal to Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD), the stage used to train the final Nemotron 3 Ultra. MOPD uses these strong teacher models to guide training on a student's own generated attempts (on-policy rollouts), better aligning the student's behavior with what it would actually produce at inference time and yielding stronger gains than purely off-policy distillation.
Other Properties Related to Input: Maximum context length up to 1M tokens. Supported languages include: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Hindi, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese.
Other Properties Related to Output: Maximum context length up to 1M tokens
Our AI models are designed and optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.
The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.
Model Version(s)
v1.0 - Ultra Instruction Teacher GA
Quick Start Guide
The Ultra NVFP4 checkpoint is a frontier-scale model quantized for maximum throughput on the latest hardware. The minimum recommended hardware is:
Single-node: 4× B200 (fits NVFP4 weights plus KV cache with headroom)
Multi-node: ≥4 GPUs across GB200 / GB300
All deployment snippets below default to port 8000, with chunked prefill, NVFP4 KV caching, and MTP (5 speculative tokens) enabled.
Multi-Node Setup with Ray (Recommended for multi-node deployments)
The recommended multi-processing backend for multi-node deployments is Ray v2. Below is a template for launching a Ray cluster:
bash
1# Set the IP for the head node in RAY_HEAD_IP2exportRAY_HEAD_IP=<head_node_ip>3exportRAY_PORT=63794exportRAY_ADDRESS=${RAY_HEAD_IP}:${RAY_PORT}56# Start Ray head node (vLLM/SGLang will run on this node)7ray start --head --node-ip-address=${RAY_HEAD_IP} --port=${RAY_PORT}89# Start Ray worker node(s)10ray start --address=${RAY_HEAD_IP}:${RAY_PORT} --block
1112# Verify Ray cluster is ready13ray status --address=${RAY_HEAD_IP}:${RAY_PORT}
Note:ray[cgraph] is required: uv pip install "ray[cgraph]"
vLLM
Recommended container:vllm/vllm-openai:v0.22.0
For more detailed information, please see this cookbook.
Context length: Defaults to 256k above. To use up to 1M, set SGLANG_ALLOW_OVERWRITE_LONGER_CONTEXT_LEN=1 and --context-length 1048576.
Tool calls + reasoning parsing: When calling the chat completions endpoint with tools, you must set "chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": true, "force_nonempty_content": true} in the request body to parse both reasoning and tool calls correctly.
Long-context configuration: For long-context benchmarking, set TLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 as an environment variable and add --max_seq_len <seq_len> as the desired maximum context length. The MTP speculative_config block above carries over unchanged — on rc16, max_draft_len is the authoritative field and num_nextn_predict_layers is treated as deprecated.

OpenCode
OpenCode is an AI coding agent that runs in your terminal. It connects to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, making it compatible with all three serving backends above (vLLM, SGLang, and TRT-LLM).
Create or update your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
All backends above default to port 8000, so the baseURL works as-is for vLLM, SGLang, and TRT-LLM. To learn more about other supported agent scaffolds, check out this resource.
Set a hard token ceiling on the reasoning trace using reasoning_budget. The model will attempt to close the trace at the next newline before the budget is hit; if none is found within 500 tokens it closes abruptly at reasoning_budget + 500.

NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Teacher-Instruction-Following 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 11 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 pre-trained for approximately 20 trillion tokens.
The post-training corpus for NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Teacher-Instruction-Following consists of high-quality curated and synthetically-generated data. Primary languages used for post-training include English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Hindi, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese.
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 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 Ultra.

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).
