Released February 20264K context≈ 3,072 words3B params

A compact, open-weight language model from NVIDIA built on a diffusion-based architecture rather than the standard autoregressive approach — meaning it generates text through an iterative refinement process instead of token-by-token prediction. At 3 billion parameters with a 4096-token context window, it sits in the lightweight tier. As a base model, it ships without instruction tuning, so it requires fine-tuning or prompting work before practical deployment.

Glossary

ArchitectureThe underlying structural design of a neural network that defines how data flows through layers and components.AutoregressiveA model that generates text one token at a time by predicting the next word based on all previous words in the sequence.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.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Diffusion-Based ArchitectureA neural network design that generates outputs by iteratively refining noisy predictions into clear results, rather than building text one token at a time like traditional language models.Fine-TuningThe process of further training a pre-trained model on new data to adapt it for specific tasks or domains.Iterative refinementRepeatedly improving an output by generating versions, evaluating them, and using feedback to create better versions.Language ModelAn AI model trained to predict and generate text by learning patterns from large amounts of written data.ParametersThe learned numerical values in a model — more parameters generally means more capacity but higher compute cost.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.Token PredictionThe core task of predicting what word or subword (token) should come next in a sequence based on previous text.
