Known issues we've tracked

NEMOTRON 3 ULTRA SHIPPED (2026-06-04, announced at Computex 6/1): the family flagship is live -- 550B total / 55B active hybrid Mamba-Transformer MoE, NVFP4 precision, Nvidia claims ~5x throughput vs comparable open models and ~30% lower cost on long-running agentic tasks (vendor numbers, third-party verification pending). Available on Hugging Face, NVIDIA NIM, build.nvidia.com, OpenRouter, and Perplexity Pro. Correction to earlier coalition note: Nemotron 3 Super (120B total / 12B active, 1M-token context) had already shipped 2026-03-11 -- the 'Super/Ultra expected H1 2026' framing is obsolete

Nemotron 3 now has dedicated sub-families for voice, retrieval, and safety beyond the original reasoning family. Published sub-lineup: (1) Nemotron Speech -- open-source ASR models, claimed 10x faster than class competitors at comparable WER; (2) Nemotron RAG -- multimodal embedding + reranker VLMs for enterprise retrieval; (3) Nemotron Safety -- Llama Nemotron Content Safety + Nemotron PII detector; (4) Nemotron 3 VoiceChat -- full-duplex voice agent in early access post-GTC 2026; (5) Nemotron 3 Content Safety guardrail. All released under the permissive Nvidia Open Model License

NEMOTRON COALITION: Announced at GTC March 2026, Nvidia leads an open-frontier coalition with Black Forest Labs, Cursor, LangChain, Mistral, Perplexity, Reflection AI, Sarvam, and Thinking Machines. Nemotron 4 (the first coalition model) has no public release date yet. Nemotron 3 rollout since completed: Nano first, Super 2026-03-11, Ultra 2026-06-04
