It combines **Mamba-2, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), and attention layers** with a **C-RADIO vision encoder**, enabling reasoning, coding, tool use, and long-context understanding. The model has **120B total parameters** and **12B active parameters**, with a **1M-token context window** and **Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) for speculative decoding** to speed up inference.\n\nThe model is optimized for **NVIDIA GPUs (Hopper/Blackwell)** and released under the **OpenMDW License 1.1**. NVIDIA provides deployment guides for **vLLM and SGLang**, with examples for text, image, video, and tool-calling tasks. Benchmarks cover **agentic capabilities, reasoning, multimodal tasks, and multilingual performance**, though full validation requires use-case-specific testing. The model is available on **Hugging Face** as of **October 15, 2026**, targeting developers for customization, domain adaptation, and inference.","keyPoints":["Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 120B supports **1M-token context** with **text, image, and video inputs** via MTP speculative decoding","Model combines **Mamba-2, MoE, and attention layers** with a **C-RADIO vision encoder** for multimodal reasoning","Optimized for **NVIDIA Hopper/Blackwell GPUs**, released under **OpenMDW License 1.1** on Hugging Face"],"whyItMatters":"This model pushes boundaries for **long-context, multimodal AI agents**, enabling developers to build systems handling **documents, videos, and code** without chunking. Its **speculative decoding** could reduce inference latency, while **open weights** lower barriers for research and enterprise adoption.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["NVIDIA"],"models":["Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 120B-A12B-BF16","Nemotron 3 Super Base","Nemotron 3 Ultra Base"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-15T15:00:24Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":true,"sources":[{"outlet":"huggingface.co","title":"nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B model family released (base, NVFP4, BF16, and LiLiCorr speculative decoding)","url":"https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL-120B-A12B-BF16","publishedAt":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":true},{"outlet":"NVIDIA Blog","title":"Open From Data Center to Desktop: NVIDIA Expands Nemotron Family With Highest Efficiency Super VL and Bolt Models","url":"https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/nemotron-3-5-super-vl","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T15:00:24Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[{"site":"Reddit","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1x6nl8m/nvidianvidianemotron35supervl120ba12b_model/","points":null}],"thread":{"title":"NVIDIA AI Model Rollout Saga Unveiling","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-120b-with-1m-token-context-and","storyCount":2},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 120B with 1M-token context and speculative decoding\", 12 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-120b-with-1m-token-context-and","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Super VL 120B with 1M-token context and speculative decoding","datePublished":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-120b-with-1m-token-context-and"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
