Nemotron 3 Ultra

NVIDIA · released Jun 4, 2026

FlagshipOpen weights

NVIDIA's largest open-weights model: a 550-billion-parameter hybrid design for long-running agents, coding and long-context analysis. NVIDIA releases the weights, much of the training data and the recipes rather than selling API access.

Best for: Self-hosting on NVIDIA hardware · Customising with open data and recipes · Fast output

Typical price at third-party hosts. NVIDIA offers a free trial endpoint but no paid first-party API.

Worth knowing

  • The model supports up to 1M tokens of context, but hosted endpoints typically cap it near 262K.
