| Summary | ||
| Verdict | 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. | Conditional 32B dense reasoning model under Apache 2.0. Sweet spot for self-hostable reasoning: 4090-class GPU at 4-bit, single H100 at bf16. Chinese-origin caveats unchanged. |
