Description
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B is a sophisticated large language model that integrates a Mamba-2–Transformer hybrid architecture with a C-RADIO v4-H vision encoder. It boasts a total of 74 billion parameters, with 9 billion active, and operates with BF16 precision for full-precision weights. The model can handle context lengths of up to 256K tokens, supporting text, image, and video inputs, and producing text outputs. It is deployed on NVIDIA's Ampere, Hopper, or Blackwell hardware, utilizing vLLM for efficient operations.

The model is optimized for speculative decoding through the LiLiCorr drafter via DFlash, generating seven speculative tokens in the provided vLLM recipes. It features a reasoning mode with chat-template controls, inherited from the Super 3.5 VL client, and is best suited for customization, post-training, and creating quantized variants for local agentic tasks. The recommended sampling settings for text are a temperature of 1.0 and a top_p of 0.95.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B is licensed under OpenMDW-1.1, ensuring open access for further development and integration. The model has been benchmarked across various tests, including GDPVal-AA-V2, Terminal-Bench 2.1, and others, demonstrating competitive performance metrics. It is particularly effective in tasks requiring multi-turn tool interactions and has shown improvements in MCP use capabilities.
The training methodology involves multiple agentic environments with full E2E GRPO targeting MCP and SWE tasks. The model's foundation is built on the Nemotron 3 corpus, which includes datasets like Nemotron-CC-v2 and Nemotron-Pretraining-Code-v1, among others. NVIDIA has ensured that no user-sourced data was used in training, maintaining privacy and data integrity.
