Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B
How much memory it needs, what its licence allows, and whether it fits an office box.

Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B is a language model for chat, drafting and question answering, published by NVIDIA on Hugging Face on 4 December 2025. It has about 31.6 billion parameters and a configured context window of 262,144 tokens. It is a mixture-of-experts model: 128 experts, 6 used for each token, so only about 3B parameters are active at a time.

Its card lists the licence as a custom licence (nvidia-nemotron-open-model-license). In short, the licence sets its own terms; read it before any commercial use.

Hugging Face counted about 907,061 downloads of it in the 30 days before we checked (7 Oct 2026), and 825 people have liked it there.

The card lists 6 languages: en, es, fr, de, ja, it (ISO codes as given on the card).

We size it the way you would size any model: the weights (parameters × bits ÷ 8), the KV cache for 8,192 tokens of context, and roughly 1.5 GB for the runtime itself. Real use varies with settings.

Each token of context adds about 0.05 MB of KV cache at 16-bit, so 32,768 tokens would add about 1.7 GB.

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.

This is the class ANVE runs by default (27B-class): strong enough for meeting minutes, summaries, drafting and question answering over an office’s own documents, and small enough for one box.

• Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B: a faster variant that trades some quality for speed (same parameter count, so the memory figures above apply).

• GLM-4.7-Flash (31.2B parameters, about 19 GB at 4-bit before context; commercial use allowed)
• sarvam-30b (32.2B parameters, about 20 GB at 4-bit before context; commercial use allowed)
• granite-4.0-h-small (32.2B parameters, about 20 GB at 4-bit before context; commercial use allowed)

No sealed ANVE unit exists; every image of the appliance on this site is a labelled render. The software runs today on a development machine. No customers yet, no certifications, no delivery date, and the final price is not announced.
