NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 is a language model that can follow instructions, complete requests, and generate creative text formats. The NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 Large Language Model (LLM) is an instruct fine-tuned version of the Nemotron-Nano.
NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 for DGX Spark Overview
Description:
This container houses the NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, which is a large language model (LLM) trained from scratch by NVIDIA, and designed as a unified model for both reasoning and non-reasoning tasks. It responds to user queries and tasks by first generating a reasoning trace and then concluding with a final response. The model's reasoning capabilities can be controlled via a system prompt. If the user prefers the model to provide its final answer without intermediate reasoning traces, it can be configured to do so, albeit with a slight decrease in accuracy for harder prompts that require reasoning. Conversely, allowing the model to generate reasoning traces first generally results in higher-quality final solutions to queries and tasks.
The model uses a hybrid architecture consisting primarily of Mamba-2 and MLP layers combined with just four Attention layers. For the architecture, please refer to the Nemotron-H tech report.
The supported languages include: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. Improved using Qwen.
The container components are ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
