When to Use These Models

πŸ“Œ Fitting models into GPU VRAM

βœ” Memory-constrained deployments

βœ” Cpu and Edge Devices where 1-2bit errors can be tolerated

βœ” Research into ultra-low-bit quantization

Choosing the Right Model Format

Selecting the correct model format depends on your hardware capabilities and memory constraints.

BF16 (Brain Float 16) – Use if BF16 acceleration is available

  • A 16-bit floating-point format designed for faster computation while retaining good precision.
  • Provides similar dynamic range as FP32 but with lower memory usage.
  • Recommended if your hardware supports BF16 acceleration (check your device's specs).
  • Ideal for high-performance inference with reduced memory footprint compared to FP32.

πŸ“Œ Use BF16 if:
βœ” Your hardware has native BF16 support (e.g., newer GPUs, TPUs).
βœ” You want higher precision while saving memory.
βœ” You plan to requantize the model into another format.

πŸ“Œ Avoid BF16 if:
❌ Your hardware does not support BF16 (it may fall back to FP32 and run slower).
❌ You need compatibility with older devices that lack BF16 optimization.


F16 (Float 16) – More widely supported than BF16

  • A 16-bit floating-point high precision but with less of range of values than BF16.
  • Works on most devices with FP16 acceleration support (including many GPUs and some CPUs).
  • Slightly lower numerical precision than BF16 but generally sufficient for inference.

πŸ“Œ Use F16 if:
βœ” Your hardware supports FP16 but not BF16.
βœ” You need a balance between speed, memory usage, and accuracy.
βœ” You are running on a GPU or another device optimized for FP16 computations.

πŸ“Œ Avoid F16 if:
❌ Your device lacks native FP16 support (it may run slower than expected).
❌ You have memory limitations.


Quantized Models (Q4_K, Q6_K, Q8, etc.) – For CPU & Low-VRAM Inference

Quantization reduces model size and memory usage while maintaining as much accuracy as possible.

  • Lower-bit models (Q4_K) β†’ Best for minimal memory usage, may have lower precision.
  • Higher-bit models (Q6_K, Q8_0) β†’ Better accuracy, requires more memory.

πŸ“Œ Use Quantized Models if:
βœ” You are running inference on a CPU and need an optimized model.
βœ” Your device has low VRAM and cannot load full-precision models.
βœ” You want to reduce memory footprint while keeping reasonable accuracy.

πŸ“Œ Avoid Quantized Models if:
❌ You need maximum accuracy (full-precision models are better for this).
❌ Your hardware has enough VRAM for higher-precision formats (BF16/F16).


Very Low-Bit Quantization (IQ3_XS, IQ3_S, IQ3_M, Q4_K, Q4_0)

These models are optimized for extreme memory efficiency, making them ideal for low-power devices or large-scale deployments where memory is a critical constraint.

  • IQ3_XS: Ultra-low-bit quantization (3-bit) with extreme memory efficiency.

    • Use case: Best for ultra-low-memory devices where even Q4_K is too large.
    • Trade-off: Lower accuracy compared to higher-bit quantizations.
  • IQ3_S: Small block size for maximum memory efficiency.

    • Use case: Best for low-memory devices where IQ3_XS is too aggressive.
  • IQ3_M: Medium block size for better accuracy than IQ3_S.

    • Use case: Suitable for low-memory devices where IQ3_S is too limiting.
  • Q4_K: 4-bit quantization with block-wise optimization for better accuracy.

    • Use case: Best for low-memory devices where Q6_K is too large.
  • Q4_0: Pure 4-bit quantization, optimized for ARM devices.

    • Use case: Best for ARM-based devices or low-memory environments.

Summary Table: Model Format Selection

Model Format Precision Memory Usage Device Requirements Best Use Case
BF16 Highest High BF16-supported GPU/CPUs High-speed inference with reduced memory
F16 High High FP16-supported devices GPU inference when BF16 isn't available
Q4_K Medium Low Low CPU or Low-VRAM devices Best for memory-constrained environments
Q6_K Medium Moderate CPU with more memory Better accuracy while still being quantized

Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1

Model Overview

Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1 is a large language model (LLM) which is a derivative of Meta Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct (AKA the reference model). It is a reasoning model that is post trained for reasoning, human chat preferences, and tasks, such as RAG and tool calling. The model supports a context length of 128K tokens.

Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1 is a model which offers a great tradeoff between model accuracy and efficiency. Efficiency (throughput) directly translates to savings. Using a novel Neural Architecture Search (NAS) approach, we greatly reduce the model’s memory footprint, enabling larger workloads, as well as fitting the model on a single GPU at high workloads (H200). This NAS approach enables the selection of a desired point in the accuracy-efficiency tradeoff. For more information on the NAS approach, please refer to this paper.

The model underwent a multi-phase post-training process to enhance both its reasoning and non-reasoning capabilities. This includes a supervised fine-tuning stage for Math, Code, Reasoning, and Tool Calling as well as multiple reinforcement learning (RL) stages using REINFORCE (RLOO) and Online Reward-aware Preference Optimization (RPO) algorithms for both chat and instruction-following. The final model checkpoint is obtained after merging the final SFT and Online RPO checkpoints. For more details on how the model was trained, please see this blog.

Model Architecture

Architecture Type: Dense decoder-only Transformer model
Network Architecture: Llama 3.3 70B Instruct, customized through Neural Architecture Search (NAS)

The model is a derivative of Meta’s Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, using Neural Architecture Search (NAS). The NAS algorithm results in non-standard and non-repetitive blocks. This includes the following:

  • Skip attention: In some blocks, the attention is skipped entirely, or replaced with a single linear layer.
  • Variable FFN: The expansion/compression ratio in the FFN layer is different between blocks.

We utilize a block-wise distillation of the reference model, where for each block we create multiple variants providing different tradeoffs of quality vs. computational complexity, discussed in more depth below. We then search over the blocks to create a model which meets the required throughput and memory (optimized for a single H100-80GB GPU) while minimizing the quality degradation. The model then undergoes knowledge distillation (KD), with a focus on English single and multi-turn chat use-cases. The KD step included 40 billion tokens consisting of a mixture of 3 datasets - FineWeb, Buzz-V1.2 and Dolma.

Intended use

Quick Start and Usage Recommendations:

  1. Reasoning mode (ON/OFF) is controlled via the system prompt, which must be set as shown in the example below. All instructions should be contained within the user prompt
  2. We recommend setting temperature to 0.6, and Top P to 0.95 for Reasoning ON mode
  3. We recommend using greedy decoding for Reasoning OFF mode
  4. We have provided a list of prompts to use for evaluation for each benchmark where a specific template is required

You can try this model out through the preview API, using this link: Llama-3_3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1.

See the snippet below for usage with Hugging Face Transformers library. Reasoning mode (ON/OFF) is controlled via system prompt. Please see the example below

   **model_kwargs
)

thinking = "on"

print(pipeline([{"role": "system", "content": f"detailed thinking {thinking}"},{"role": "user", "content": "Solve x*(sin(x)+2)=0"}]))

Example of reasoning off:

A large variety of training data was used for the knowledge distillation phase before post-training pipeline, 3 of which included: FineWeb, Buzz-V1.2, and Dolma.

The data for the multi-stage post-training phases for improvements in Code, Math, and Reasoning is a compilation of SFT and RL data that supports improvements of math, code, general reasoning, and instruction following capabilities of the original Llama instruct model.

In conjunction with this model release, NVIDIA has released 30M samples of post-training data, as public and permissive. Please see Llama-Nemotron-Postraining-Dataset-v1.

Distribution of the domains is as follows:

Category Value
math 19,840,970
code 9,612,677
science 708,920
instruction following 56,339
chat 39,792
safety 31,426

Prompts have been sourced from either public and open corpus or synthetically generated. Responses were synthetically generated by a variety of models, with some prompts containing responses for both reasoning on and off modes, to train the model to distinguish between two modes.

Evaluation Results

These results contain both β€œReasoning On”, and β€œReasoning Off”. We recommend using temperature=0.6, top_p=0.95 for β€œReasoning On” mode, and greedy decoding for β€œReasoning Off” mode. All evaluations are done with 32k sequence length. We run the benchmarks up to 16 times and average the scores to be more accurate.

NOTE: Where applicable, a Prompt Template will be provided. While completing benchmarks, please ensure that you are parsing for the correct output format as per the provided prompt in order to reproduce the benchmarks seen below.
