NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 multimodal agent models
2026-10-16Verified announcementTRIAL
NVIDIA released downloadable Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Bolt weights for multimodal agent workflows. Super VL has 120B total and 12B active parameters with up to 1M context; Bolt has 74B total and 9B active parameters, including a 24GB quantized artifact. The models use OpenMDW 1.1 rather than Apache or MIT, and headline performance remains vendor-reported.
What this means for you
For multimodal-agent teams, the weights create a testable alternative with both large-server and 24GB paths. Hardware claims, license obligations and vendor-run benchmarks still need workload-specific validation.
