Using this organization’s offerings

Ownership, delivery, and openness answer different questions. Publicly traded does not mean open source; privately held does not mean closed.

Intended users

NVIDIA presents Nemotron to developers building specialized and multi-agent AI applications, and NIM to developers and enterprises deploying prebuilt inference microservices.1112Fact reviewed Oct 1, 2026

Hosted and self-hosted access

Nemotron models are published on Hugging Face and offered as hosted endpoints on build.nvidia.com, and NVIDIA has released some Nemotron training datasets and recipes. NIM can be tried free through the NVIDIA Developer Program and self-hosted on a user's own infrastructure.11131412Fact reviewed Oct 1, 2026

Restrictions and review limits

Model licenses differ by release: the Nemotron 3 Super card names the NVIDIA Nemotron Open Model License, while the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning card names OpenMDW-1.1. Production use of self-hosted NIM requires an NVIDIA AI Enterprise license. This profile is not a complete product or rights audit.151612Fact reviewed Oct 1, 2026

What is and isn’t public

An evidence-based summary of what this catalog has documented. It is not a verdict on the organization as a whole.

NVIDIA sells hardware and commercial software. It also publishes downloadable Nemotron model weights, with some training datasets and recipes, and open-source software such as TensorRT-LLM under Apache 2.0. Terms differ by release; see individual artifact records.910

Notable documented facts

  • In fiscal year 2026 NVIDIA entered into a non-exclusive intellectual property license arrangement with Groq, Inc. NVIDIA's Groq 3 LPX inference accelerator, announced as in full production in August 2026, uses Groq technology under that license.238
  • NVIDIA publishes the Nemotron family of models on Hugging Face and, for several releases, training datasets and training recipes.9

In the news

Dated, sourced updates in this catalog's news that mention this entry.
  1. · Release

    NVIDIA releases Cosmos3-H-Embodied-Nano and Cosmos3-H-Dreams surgical robotics world models

    NVIDIA published two surgical robotics models on Hugging Face whose model cards give a release date of October 20, 2026, both under the NVIDIA Open Model License Agreement. The Cosmos3-H-Embodied-Nano card describes Cosmos3-Nano post-trained on the Open-H-Embodiment surgical robotics data jointly for forward dynamics, inverse dynamics and policy, so one checkpoint can predict robot actions and endoscopic video. The Cosmos3-H-Dreams card describes a real-time, action-conditioned surgical world model for the CMR Surgical Versius system, built on Cosmos3-H-Embodied-Nano and distilled into a few-step autoregressive student that generates endoscopic video from a camera frame and robot commands. Both cards say the Cosmos3-Nano architecture they inherit includes a Qwen3-VL-8B reasoning tower, and the cards describe intended uses in simulation, policy evaluation and synthetic data generation before use on a physical system. USASI has not tested these models.

  2. · Release

    NVIDIA's Isaac Lab 3.0 is generally available with Newton and standalone OV library backends

    The Isaac Lab project published v3.0.0 on GitHub on October 20, 2026, and the release notes say Isaac Lab 3.0 is now generally available and is the recommended baseline for new projects and for migrations from Isaac Lab 2.x. The notes describe one task API across multiple physics, rendering and visualization backends, including Newton, a Warp-native physics backend with MuJoCo-Warp, VBD and MPM solver paths, and OV libraries that provide OVPhysX for PhysX and OVRTX for RTX rendering as standalone libraries. They say Isaac Sim remains available for workflows that need the full PhysX/RTX stack, ROS bridge, XR, livestreaming or Kit tooling, but is now fully optional. The release targets Isaac Sim 6.2, Python 3.12 and PyTorch 2.11 with CUDA 13.0. USASI has not tested this release.

  3. · Release

    llm-d 1.0 released with flow control, router high availability and a v1 configuration API

    On October 20, 2026 llm-d project contributors announced llm-d 1.0, a release of the open distributed inference project that an IBM newsroom announcement says was founded in 2025 by Red Hat, IBM, Google Cloud, CoreWeave and NVIDIA and is now governed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The v1.0.0 release notes on GitHub list priority- and fairness-aware flow control with controlled load shedding, router high availability with hot standby and safe rolling updates, and the router configuration API graduating to v1. The notes also say the disaggregated prefill-decode guide now requires LeaderWorkerSet v0.11.1 or newer. The announcement says Google Cloud is integrating llm-d 1.0 into Google Kubernetes Engine; it does not give a date for the CNCF governance change. USASI has not tested this release.

  4. · Release

    NVIDIA releases Nemotron Labs Dory1.0-4B, a looped language model, under OpenMDW-1.1

    NVIDIA published NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Dory1.0-4B on Hugging Face with a model card that gives a release date of October 16, 2026 and the OpenMDW License Agreement, version 1.1 as its license. The card describes a 4B-parameter looped (latent-recurrent) language model that applies a shared block of layers repeatedly, so that a single checkpoint can serve different inference compute budgets by changing the loop count. It says the model was pre-trained natively in NVFP4 before continuing in BF16, supports up to 256K tokens of context, lists English as the supported language, and is available in BF16, MXFP8, NVFP4, and Q5_K_M formats. USASI has not tested this model.

  5. · Release

    NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B open models under OpenMDW-1.1

    On October 15, 2026 NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB, and said a third model, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB, is coming October 23. The Super VL model card lists 120B total and 12B active parameters, a context length of up to 1M tokens, and text, image, and video input with text output. The Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB model card describes a vision-language model with 74B total and 9B active parameters that uses a native 2-bit quantization to fit in 24GB of memory, with a context length of up to 256K tokens. Both model cards give a Hugging Face release date of October 15, 2026 and name the OpenMDW License Agreement, version 1.1 as the governing license. USASI has not tested these models.
