Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B: Compressing Hybrid MoE LLMs

We present Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B, a compressed variant of Nemotron-3-Super optimized for interactive deployment. We designed the model to maximize server throughput under high user throughput constraints. In interactive serving workloads on a single 8xB200 node, Puzzle-75B-A9B achieves approximately 2x higher server throughput than Nemotron-3-Super at matched user throughput constraints. In ultra-long-context deployment on a single H100 GPU, the compressed model increases 1M-token concurrency from 1 request to 8 requests. Puzzle-75B-A9B is constructed using a multi-stage pipeline that combines the Iterative Puzzle compression framework with knowledge distillation, reinforcement learning, quantization, and a Multi-Token Prediction head. The compression process jointly optimizes heterogeneous MoE pruning, active parameter budget, and Mamba pruning to improve inference efficiency while preserving model quality. We evaluate Puzzle-75B-A9B on a broad suite of reasoning, coding, multilingual, long-context, and agentic benchmarks. Despite substantial compression, the model retains strong downstream accuracy relative to the parent model across a wide range of tasks. These results demonstrate that large hybrid MoE models can be substantially optimized for deployment efficiency while maintaining strong downstream capability.

Nemotron 3 Ultra: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning

We introduce Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550 billion total and 55 billion active parameter Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Attention language model. We pre-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra on 20 trillion text tokens, then extended the context length to 1M tokens, and post-trained using Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD). Nemotron 3 Ultra is our most capable model yet, employing multiple key technologies - LatentMoE, Multi Token Prediction (MTP), NVFP4 pre-training, multi-environment RLVR, MOPD, and reasoning budget control. Nemotron 3 Ultra achieves up to ~6x higher inference throughput as compared to state-of-the-art publicly available LLMs while attaining on-par accuracy. The state-of-the-art accuracy, high inference throughput, and 1M token context length make Nemotron 3 Ultra ideal for long-running autonomous agentic tasks. We open-source the base, post-trained, and quantized checkpoints, along with the training data and recipe on HuggingFace.
