Nvidia releases new version of open-source AI model, claiming 'faster, cheaper, smarter'
On December 15, it was reported that on Monday, Nvidia (NVDA.O) released a series of new open-source artificial intelligence models, stating that these models will be faster, cheaper, and smarter than its previous products. Nvidia is primarily known for providing chips, which companies like OpenAI use to train their closed-source models and profit from them. However, Nvidia also offers a large number of proprietary models, covering various fields from physical simulation to autonomous vehicles, which are made available to researchers or other companies in the form of open-source software. For example, companies like Palantir Technologies have integrated Nvidia's models into their products. On Monday, Nvidia announced the third generation of the 'Nemotron' large language model, primarily aimed at tasks such as writing and programming. The smallest model, Nemotron 3 Nano, was released on the same day, with two larger versions set to be launched in the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering a shift to closed-source models, making Nvidia one of the leading providers of open-source models in the United States.
