THE MODEL / THE TERMS

Know what you are picking up.

Parameters
33B listed deployment parameters on NVIDIA Build; the same page’s architecture text says 31B A3B, while the model identifier names a 30B-A3B backbone. Accounting differs across first-party fields.
Architecture
Native omni-understanding sparse mixture-of-experts model in the Nemotron 3 family.
Modalities
text · image · audio · video
Context
262K tokens on NVIDIA Build; the April 27 technical report describes a 256K maximum context
Weights license
NVIDIA Open Model Agreement
Commercial use
Commercial deployment is governed by NVIDIA’s custom Open Model Agreement; users must review its conditions.
Memory
No single minimum is asserted; requirements depend on precision, media length, and runtime.
Known quantizations
Check the official model page for supported NVIDIA deployment formats

NINE DIMENSIONS / NO OPENNESS SCORE

What is actually available?

Each component has its own evidence. “Not established” means this source review did not verify availability; it is not a claim that nothing exists.

partial

Training recipe

NVIDIA documents the model’s construction and reasoning behavior without a complete end-to-end reproduction recipe.

partial

Commercial use

NVIDIA explicitly permits commercial use under its custom agreement. This is permission with conditions, not a prohibition and not an OSI certification.

WHY THIS RELEASE MATTERS

What to explore.

  • Video and audio understanding
  • Reasoning
  • Efficient active parameter count
  • Long context

WHAT THE RECORD DOES NOT ESTABLISH

Keep the limits.

  • Custom license
  • Complete multimodal training corpus is not released
  • Vendor benchmarks need independent reproduction

No independent reproduction of the Nano Omni benchmark suite is attached; performance statements remain vendor-reported.

CONNECTED EVIDENCE

A release becomes a starting point.

Thematic or family connections, not proof that an older application uses the selected checkpoint.
