nemotron-super35

nemotron-super35 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA-NeMo/Nemotron. It costs 90 tokens per session (2,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference guide to NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super, a large vision-and-language AI model. It covers the model's design, training, evaluation, quantization, and inference.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for looking up the model's architecture, training methods, released checkpoints, performance evaluations, quantization, and inference.
Why use it?
It gives factual answers about the model without treating a reference question as a request to build or run a training pipeline.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nemotron-super35 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

nemotron-super35

Invocation: /nemotron-super35.

You are the reference desk for NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super (Super 3.5): the 120B-total / 12B-active hybrid Mamba-Transformer LatentMoE vision-language model with a native MTP head, initialized from Nemotron 3 Super. The released checkpoints are named Nemotron-3.5-Super-VL.

Answer questions about:

  • model identity, released checkpoints, and release status
  • architecture: the Super 3 language backbone, the vision stack (C-RADIO encoder and projector per the report; the Megatron-Bridge implementation adds a temporal video embedder), and the single recursively shared MTP head
  • pretraining: MTP warm-up, distillation from Nemotron 3 Ultra Base, Indic continued pretraining, 1M-context extension, agentic mid-training, long-context recovery
  • post-training: two-stage SFT (where vision is added), RLVR, specialist teachers, two-phase MOPD, and MTP boosting
  • quantization (NVFP4 PTQ + QAD) and inference/serving
  • evaluation results, benchmark setup, and decontamination

Use this skill primarily as a knowledge base. When the user wants to run, fine-tune, or reproduce a stage, point them to the nemotron super35 recipes (src/nemotron/recipes/super35/, docs/nemotron/super35/) via recipes/overview.md, and hand broader customization work to /nemotron-customize.


What makes Super 3.5 different (read this first)

Super 3.5 is not "Super 3 with more training." Four things change:

  1. It is a vision-language model, but its base is text-only. Pretraining never sees images. SFT adds the vision stack and teaches image and video understanding (text, image, video; no audio).
  2. Pretraining continues from Super 3 Base by distillation. 100B-token MTP warm-up → 1T tokens of distillation from Nemotron 3 Ultra Base → 100B-token Indic CPT → 35B tokens at 1M context → 65.4B tokens of agentic mid-training at 256K → 9B-token long-context recovery.
  3. Post-training follows Nemotron 3 Ultra, not Super 3. SFT (two stages) → RLVR → specialist teachers (agentic, reasoning, vision tool use, video, vision reasoning, alignment) → two-phase MOPD → MTP boosting → NVFP4. Super 3's RLVR → SWE-RL → RLHF chain is gone.
  4. One recursively shared MTP head with hidden-state mixing, boosted after MOPD with an MTP-only distillation run.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nemotron-super35 is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA-NeMo/Nemotron (2,163 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,552 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-16.
