Libraries

How to use nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Is this model going to be seriously considered? Seeking Official Channels to Contact the Model’s Developers or an Active Community

Is there an official channel to contact the model’s developers or, more broadly, an active community?

I found this GitHub repository: https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Nemotron/issues

However, it appears unmaintained: there are only four issues, all open, with no follow-up activity.

The same is true on Hugging Face; I reported a major issue weeks ago and have received no feedback.

Is this model going to be seriously considered?

Hey!

We're just coming back from the holidays - but if you want the most direct line of communication - I'd suggest our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/nvidiadeveloper

We have a #nemotron-models channel there that is actively monitored each day (by yours truly).

Thanks,
Chris
