Resumen

Presentamos Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, un modelo de lenguaje híbrido Mamba-Transformer diseñado para aumentar el rendimiento en tareas de razonamiento mientras alcanza una precisión de vanguardia en comparación con modelos de tamaño similar. Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 se basa en la arquitectura Nemotron-H, en la que la mayoría de las capas de autoatención de la arquitectura Transformer común se reemplazan con capas Mamba-2, logrando una velocidad de inferencia mejorada al generar las largas trazas de pensamiento necesarias para el razonamiento. Creamos Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 preentrenando primero un modelo de 12 mil millones de parámetros (Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base) en 20 billones de tokens utilizando una receta de entrenamiento FP8. Después de alinear Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base, empleamos la estrategia Minitron para comprimir y destilar el modelo con el objetivo de permitir la inferencia en hasta 128k tokens en una sola GPU NVIDIA A10G (22GiB de memoria, precisión bfloat16). En comparación con modelos existentes de tamaño similar (por ejemplo, Qwen3-8B), demostramos que Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 alcanza una precisión igual o mejor en benchmarks de razonamiento, logrando hasta 6 veces mayor rendimiento de inferencia en configuraciones de razonamiento como 8k tokens de entrada y 16k tokens de salida. Estamos liberando los checkpoints de Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, Nemotron-Nano12B-v2-Base y Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2-Base, junto con la mayoría de nuestros conjuntos de datos de preentrenamiento y postentrenamiento, en Hugging Face.

English

We introduce Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, a hybrid Mamba-Transformer language model designed to increase throughput for reasoning workloads while achieving state-of-the-art accuracy compared to similarly-sized models. Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 builds on the Nemotron-H architecture, in which the majority of the self-attention layers in the common Transformer architecture are replaced with Mamba-2 layers, to achieve improved inference speed when generating the long thinking traces needed for reasoning. We create Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 by first pre-training a 12-billion-parameter model (Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base) on 20 trillion tokens using an FP8 training recipe. After aligning Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base, we employ the Minitron strategy to compress and distill the model with the goal of enabling inference on up to 128k tokens on a single NVIDIA A10G GPU (22GiB of memory, bfloat16 precision). Compared to existing similarly-sized models (e.g., Qwen3-8B), we show that Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 achieves on-par or better accuracy on reasoning benchmarks while achieving up to 6x higher inference throughput in reasoning settings like 8k input and 16k output tokens. We are releasing Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2, Nemotron-Nano12B-v2-Base, and Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2-Base checkpoints along with the majority of our pre- and post-training datasets on Hugging Face.
