Our AI models are designed and/or 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.
Linux
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.

Eagle Speculative Decoding
Synthesized data was obtained from OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b model, which is then used to finetune the Eagle modules. This model is ready for inference with TensorRT-LLM and vLLM in Eagle speculative decoding mode. Eagle modules are used to predict candidate tokens beyond the next token. In the generation step, each forward Eagle module generates a distribution of tokens beyond the previous. Then, a tree-based attention mechanism samples some candidate sequences for the original model to validate. The longest accepted candidate sequence is selected so that more than 1 token is returned in the generation step. The number of tokens generated in each step is called acceptance length.
The total size (in number of data points) 2.897M
Total number of datasets 8
Dataset partition: Training 100%
Inference:
Acceleration Engine: TensorRT-LLM v1.3.0rc11. vLLM v0.19.0 also supported. Test Hardware: NVIDIA B200
Usage
TensorRT-LLM
To serve the checkpoint with TensorRT-LLM, follow the sample commands below with the TensorRT-LLM GitHub repo:
This model is trained in two phases. First, a short-context phase involving 2,697,247 total samples drawn from the
listed datasets in various proportions. For each dataset the samples are drawn uniformly from the subset of samples with at most 4,096 total tokens.
Then a long-context phase involving 199,500 total samples is used with the same sampling strategy, but no limit on total sequence length.
The distribution of samples in each dataset/phase is pictured below:

Not Applicable
Technical Limitations & Mitigation:
The model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. Therefore, before deploying any applications of this model, developers should perform safety testing and tuning tailored to their specific applications of the model.
Verified to have met prescribed quality standards?
Yes
Performance Metrics:
Accuracy, Throughput, and user-side throughput
Potential Known Risk
The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.
The Principle of least privilege (PoLP) is applied limiting access for dataset generation. Restrictions enforce dataset access during training, and dataset license constraints adhered to. Model checkpoints are made available on Hugging Face, and may become available on cloud providers' model catalog.
