How this configuration was checked

192 GB VRAM · reviewed estimate Source lists 149.8 GB (file-size). Estimate uses 149.78 GB exact BF16 checkpoint bytes, 0.034 GB 4K KV cache (8 attention blocks of 40 Mamba blocks plus attention blocks, from the config layer map × 2 KV heads × 128 head width × K/V × 2-byte values), 4 GB runtime buffers, and 38.186 GB remaining in the 192 GB VRAM tier.

What it does

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt is a vision language model, meaning an AI that reads text, images and video and replies in text. NVIDIA designed it to run everyday agent tasks locally. This is the full-precision BF16 release, intended mainly for customization and post-training (further training). A separate 24GB version uses 2-bit quantization, a compression method, to fit in 24GB of memory.

How to use it

Input → action → output: load the model with vLLM on a supported NVIDIA GPU, send text, an image or a video, and read the text reply. The chat template lets you turn thinking mode on or off with enable thinking. For faster everyday inference, the source points to the 24GB versions instead.

Common use cases

  • Send an image with a question and read a written answer about it.
  • Send a video with a question and read a text reply.

Can I use this?

Needs a model runtime on your computer

Requirements The model is not gated and is governed by the OpenMDW 1.1 license; the source says it is ready for commercial or non-commercial use. It requires a recent vLLM version, but the exact version is not given in the model card. Deployment is listed on NVIDIA Ampere (A100), Hopper (H100 80GB) or Blackwell GPUs. Memory needs for the BF16 version are not documented.

Caveat NVIDIA recommends the 24GB versions rather than this one for fast inference. Other license terms are not summarized here, and benchmark tables are the creator's own results.

Worth knowing This full-precision version is intended mainly for customization and post-training, not direct production inference. The OpenMDW 1.1 terms are not summarized here. Licensed under OpenMDW 1.1.
