Nemotron Super 120B

nvidianvidia/nemotron-super-120b

NVIDIA's hybrid LatentMoE model (120B total, 12B active). Mamba-2 + Attention + MoE architecture with 1M context. Multi-Token Prediction for fast inference.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super (120B total, 12B active) is an open-weight hybrid LatentMoE model built for agentic reasoning, coding, and long-context multi-agent workflows. Released in March 2026, it is the flagship of NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 generation β€” the first model to use LatentMoE architecture, compressing token representations before expert routing to activate 4Γ— more experts at the same inference cost. The model natively supports a 1M-token context window, giving AI agents long-term memory spans across codebases, document corpora, and extended multi-turn tool-using sessions.

The model interleaves Mamba-2 state-space layers for efficient long-sequence processing with attention layers for precise associative recall, and uses Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) to forecast multiple future tokens per forward pass β€” enabling built-in speculative decoding. Pre-trained for over 25T tokens and fine-tuned via multi-environment reinforcement learning (1.2M+ NeMo Gym rollouts), it excels in agentic benchmarks like PinchBench (85.6%), SWE-Bench verified, and Terminal-Bench while offering up to 5Γ— throughput over its predecessor. On TheRouter, it is routed via AWS Bedrock as nvidia.nemotron-super-3-120b.

Best for
  • β€’ Autonomous agent orchestration β€” the model's high throughput (12B active) and long 1M-token context make it ideal for multi-agent systems where a supervisor agent delegates subtasks to specialised agents, routes tool calls, and consolidates long reasoning chains.
  • β€’ Long-context code analysis and generation β€” Mamba-2 layers make 100K+ token contexts practical, enabling whole-repository reasoning, diff generation, and refactoring across large codebases.
  • β€’ Cybersecurity triage and malware analysis β€” multi-environment RL training equipped the model to handle diverse cybersecurity toolchains with high reliability.
Reach for something else if
  • β€’ Conversational / creative generation β€” Arena-Hard V2 score (73.88%) trails specialist chat models. For open-ended dialogue or content creation, route to models like deepseek/deepseek-v3.1 or anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 instead.
  • β€’ Lightweight real-time tasks β€” at 120B parameters (12B active), it is heavier than distilled alternatives like Mistral Small 4 or Gemma-4. For latency-critical edge deployments, route to a smaller model.

How TheRouter serves this differently from the vendor

As the vendor operates it

NVIDIA publishes Nemotron 3 Super as open weights, datasets, recipes, NIM deployment, and a native 1M-token context model. AWS Bedrock serves the same model as nvidia.nemotron-super-3-120b with 256K context, 32K max output, text-only I/O, Chat Completions, Invoke, Converse, response streaming, structured outputs, guardrails, and client-side tool calling.

On TheRouter

TheRouter exposes it as OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions under nvidia/nemotron-super-120b. TheRouter's live catalog supplies the customer-facing context, output, pricing, modality, and supported-parameter fields; this page records that the upstream Bedrock card is narrower than NVIDIA's native 1M context and that snippets remain capped until operator-funded verification runs.

Frequently asked

What makes LatentMoE different from standard MoE?

In standard MoE, tokens are routed to experts at the full hidden dimension, which creates a computational bottleneck as the model grows. LatentMoE compresses token embeddings into a low-rank latent space before routing, allowing up to 4Γ— more experts to be consulted at the same inference cost. This enables finer-grained expert specialization β€” for example, distinct experts for Python syntax vs. SQL logic β€” that is only activated when needed.

re-authored by TheRouterdeveloper.nvidia.com β†—
What context window does Nemotron 3 Super actually support?

The model's native architecture supports a 1M-token context window, but the exact exposed limit depends on the serving platform. On AWS Bedrock (TheRouter's current routing backend for this model), it is configured for 256K tokens with 32K max output. The model's Mamba-2 layers make the full 1M context computationally practical, unlike attention-only models where long context degrades throughput quadratically.

How does Nemotron 3 Super compare to NVIDIA's previous models?

Nemotron 3 Super is the first model in the Nemotron 3 generation. Its predecessor was the earlier Nemotron Super model (a dense 120B). The 3 Super delivers up to 5Γ— throughput improvement via its hybrid MoE architecture (dense β†’ 12B active), introduces LatentMoE for 4Γ— more expert routing, uses multi-token prediction for speculative decoding, and supports a native 1M context vs. the previous generation's shorter window. A smaller sibling (Nano 30B, 3.5B active) was released in December 2025 for edge deployment.

Is Nemotron 3 Super suitable for single-turn chatbot use?

It works fine for chat, but its Arena-Hard V2 score (73.88%) indicates it lags behind specialist chat models. Nemotron 3 Super is optimised for agentic, multi-turn problem-solving where tool use, long context, and high throughput matter. For open-ended creative conversations, consider a model like deepseek/deepseek-v3.1 or meta/llama-4-maverick instead.

What tools/params are supported via TheRouter API?

Nemotron 3 Super supports temperature, max_tokens, top_p, tools (function calling), tool_choice, response_format (JSON mode), and stop sequences. Streaming is supported. The model operates via TheRouter's v1/chat/completions OpenAI-compatible endpoint routed through AWS Bedrock.
