Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released March 2025context N/A8B params

A compact base model built on NVIDIA's hybrid Mamba-Transformer architecture, blending state space models with attention mechanisms for efficient sequence processing. It handles up to 8K context and leans toward raw language modeling rather than instruction-following, making it a foundation for fine-tuning rather than direct deployment. Its open-weight nature gives developers full access to customize it for specific tasks.

Glossary

ArchitectureThe underlying structural design of a neural network that defines how data flows through layers and components.AttentionA mechanism that lets the model focus on relevant parts of the input when generating each output token.Base ModelA pretrained model that completes text patterns but hasn't been trained to follow instructions, serving as a starting point for customization through fine-tuning.Fine-TuningThe process of further training a pre-trained model on new data to adapt it for specific tasks or domains.Hybrid Mamba-Transformer ArchitectureA neural network design that combines Mamba (a fast, efficient sequence model) with Transformer components to balance speed and capability.Instruction-FollowingThe ability of a model to understand and execute specific tasks or commands given in natural language prompts.Language ModelingThe task of predicting the next word or token in a sequence based on previous words, which is the core objective used to train text models.MambaA state-space model architecture designed to process long sequences faster and with less memory than traditional transformer models.Mamba-Transformer ArchitectureA hybrid model design that combines Mamba (a state-space model) with Transformer components to process long sequences more efficiently than pure Transformers while maintaining strong performance.State SpaceThe set of all possible configurations or conditions an agent can be in, including its needs, sensations, and environment.State Space ModelsA neural network architecture that processes sequences by tracking hidden states over time, offering faster inference and lower memory use than traditional transformers.TransformerThe dominant neural network architecture for language models, using self-attention to process sequences.Transformer ArchitectureA neural network design that processes text by analyzing relationships between all words simultaneously, forming the foundation of modern large language models.
