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. **Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16** is a large language model (LLM) trained by NVIDIA, designed to deliver strong agentic, reasoning, and conversational capabilities. It is optimized for collaborative agents and high-volume workloads such as IT ticket automation. 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. Distinct from the Nano model, the Super model incorporates **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)** layers for faster text generation and improved quality, and it is trained using **NVFP4** quantization to maximize compute efficiency. The model has **12B active parameters** and **120B parameters in total**. The supported languages include: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese This model is ready for commercial use. **Governing Download Terms:** Use of this model is governed by the [NVIDIA Nemotron Open Model License](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/agreements/enterprise-software/nvidia-nemotron-open-model-license/). **Governing Download Terms with NIM:** The NIM container is governed by the [NVIDIA Software License Agreement](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/agreements/enterprise-software/nvidia-software-license-agreement/) and [Product-Specific Terms for AI Products](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/agreements/enterprise-software/product-specific-terms-for-ai-products/).

Hugging Face - 03/11/2026 via [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16) * [NVIDIA Nemotron 3 model family on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/nvidia-nemotron-v3) * [NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super Technical Report](https://research.nvidia.com/labs/nemotron/files/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-Technical-Report.pdf) - **Architecture Type:** Mamba2-Transformer Hybrid Latent Mixture of Experts (LatentMoE) with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) - **Network Architecture:** Nemotron Hybrid LatentMoE - **Number of model parameters:** 120B Total / 12B Active 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 Super model is pre-trained using NVFP4 quantization — the first model in the Nemotron 3 family trained at this precision. 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. Stage 1: Pre-Training * [NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-Base-BF16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-Base-BF16) model was pre-trained for over 25T tokens using crawled and synthetic code, math, science, and general knowledge data. Training leveraged NVFP4 quantization for efficiency. All datasets are disclosed in the [Training and Evaluation Datasets](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16#training-and-evaluation-datasets) section of this document. Major portions of the pre-training corpus are released in the [Nemotron-Pre-Training-Datasets](https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/nemotron-pre-training-datasets) collection. * Software used for pre-training: [Megatron-LM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/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. This stage incorporated data designed to support long-range retrieval and multi-document aggregation. All datasets are disclosed in the [Training and Evaluation Datasets](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16#training-and-evaluation-datasets) section of this document. Major portions of the fine-tuning corpus are released in the [Nemotron-Post-Training-v3](https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/nemotron-post-training-v3) collection. [Data Designer](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/DataDesigner) 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](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym). * Software used for reinforcement learning: [NeMo RL](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/RL), [NeMo Gym](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym) NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-BF16 model is a result of the above work.

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-Super-120B-A12B-BF16 of high-quality curated and synthetically-generated data. Primary languages used for post-training include English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, 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 Super_**](https://research.nvidia.com/labs/nemotron/files/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-Technical-Report.pdf)_. The foundation of the model is trained on the **Nemotron-3-Nano** corpus, comprising the following collections: 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](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.20848)). * Models used for prompt generation only For our post-training recipe, we focused on 9 main languages in addition to English: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese Those languages were represented in the form of multilingual reasoning and translation tasks.
