Nemotron 3 Super is a mixture-of-experts model with 120B total parameters, of which 12B are active for each token. NVIDIA lists a context window of up to 1M tokens. The model takes text input. The weights are released under the NVIDIA Nemotron Open Model License, which allows commercial use.

The official weights on Hugging Face take about 247 GB in BF16. Running the model needs at least that much memory across GPUs and system RAM, plus room for the context cache; quantized versions need less.
