For teams running long multi-agent workflows that need a million-token context and open weights without per-token lock-in.

Kenning's take

What it does

Nemotron 3 Super is an open reasoning model with 120 billion parameters, 12 billion of them active at a time, and a 1 million token context window. NVIDIA built it to keep long multi-agent workflows on track and to cut the cost of reasoning at every step. The weights are released under a permissive licence, and it is available on build.nvidia.com, OpenRouter, Hugging Face and inside Perplexity.

  • 120B parameters with 12B active
  • 1 million token context window
  • Open weights, data and training recipes
  • NVFP4 inference on Blackwell GPUs
