| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready A 12B model from Paris-based Mistral AI, co-trained with NVIDIA and shipped under Apache 2.0 with a 128k context window and strong coverage of major EU languages. EU-headquartered vendor plus a fully permissive licence make this one of the cleanest open-weight choices for organisations prioritising AI Act and GDPR alignment, with the main caveat being the usual lack of detail on the training corpus. | Conditional Per the NVIDIA Open Model Agreement, Nemotron-3 Nano Omni is commercially usable with a NOTICE-file attribution requirement and U.S. export-compliance obligations. Multimodal MoE (31B total / 3B active) accepting video, audio, image and text input, with reasoning-style chain-of-thought output. Training data is unusually well-documented (1,395 datasets, modality breakdown, CSAM scanning) — useful for AI Act Article 53 mapping. Vendor jurisdiction remains the US. |
