nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b
Memory at each precision, the licence in plain words, and where it fits.

Short answer. nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b needs about 1.9 GB of memory at 4-bit, 2.2 GB at 8-bit and 2.8 GB at full 16-bit precision, including runtime overhead. It has about 638 million parameters. Licence in short: custom licence: check before commercial use. By memory alone, on ANVE’s launch configurations: ANVE One fits at BF16, ANVE Office fits at BF16, ANVE Office Pro (GPU) fits at BF16. These are estimates from its published size, not benchmarks.

01

What it is

nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b is a speech-recognition model that turns recorded speech into text, published by NVIDIA on Hugging Face on 15 May 2026. It has about 638 million parameters.

Its card lists the licence as a custom licence (openmdw-1.1). In short, the licence sets its own terms; read it before any commercial use.

Hugging Face counted about 1,287,974 downloads of it in the 30 days before we checked (7 Oct 2026), and 1,176 people have liked it there.

The card lists 35 languages: en, es, de, fr, it, ar, ja, ko, pt, ru, hi, zh and 23 more (ISO codes as given on the card).

02

How much memory it needs

The arithmetic: parameters × bits per weight ÷ 8 gives the weights, plus about 1.5 GB for the runtime. These are planning estimates, not measurements.

Speech models also need working memory for the audio being processed, which is small next to the weights.

Will it fit on ANVE?

How the verdicts are worked out: on ANVE One, about three quarters of 64 GB of unified memory is available to the model; on ANVE Office and ANVE Office Pro, the model has to fit in the 24 GB on the graphics card, with 64 GB or 128 GB of system memory for everything else. This is arithmetic against the launch specification, not a test. ANVE’s tested default is Qwen 3.8 27B; this model is not yet validated on ANVE.

What an office would use it for

For an office, this is the model that turns a recorded meeting or call into a transcript. Accuracy depends heavily on the language, the microphone and how people talk over each other, so test it on your own recordings.

Questions people ask

How much memory does nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b need?
About 1.9 GB at 4-bit, 2.2 GB at 8-bit and 2.8 GB at full 16-bit precision, including about 1.5 GB of runtime overhead. These are estimates from its parameter count.
Can nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b run on a 24 GB graphics card?
Yes, at BF16 by this estimate, with room left for context.
Is nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b free for commercial use?
Its card lists a custom licence (openmdw-1.1), which sets its own terms; read it before any commercial use. Read the licence itself before relying on this summary; it is not legal advice.
