Nemotron Nano 9B v2

by NVIDIA

Nemotron Nano 9B v2 is a 9 billion parameter model with a hybrid architecture built primarily from Mamba-2 and MLP layers paired with just four Transformer attention layers, designed as a unified model for both reasoning and non-reasoning tasks. Pre-trained on roughly 20 trillion tokens with a September 2024 data cutoff, it was post-trained with synthetic reasoning traces drawn from DeepSeek-R1 and Qwen models alongside reinforcement learning. The model offers controllable extended reasoning through system prompts, letting developers enable reasoning with `/think` or disable it with `/no_think`, with configurable thinking budgets during inference. This makes it well suited to chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, and instruction-following applications that need reasoning without excessive token overhead. It supports 16 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese. With a 128K token context window and a compact 9B footprint, it runs efficiently while delivering strong reasoning results, scoring 72.1% on AIME25 and 97.8% on MATH500. It was released in August 2025 under the NVIDIA Open Model License for commercial use, balancing inference speed and capability for production deployments.
