NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B BF16
NVIDIA · 8.0B · runs from 5.6 GB at Q4
22.8K
66NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Bolt-E4B-BF16 is a small language model from NVIDIA, post-trained from Google's Gemma-4-E4B-it and released in full BF16 precision. It targets local voice and device assistants, interactive personas, and embedded interfaces, with better multi-turn tool use, instruction following, and input grounding than the base model. It has about 8 billion parameters, 4 billion of them effective. A Q4 build needs roughly 5 GB of memory, and NVIDIA also publishes a separate 4 GB Q4_K_M release, so it runs on a modest GPU or a laptop. The context length is up to 64K tokens for input and output each. It is released under the OpenMDW-1.1 license, and the card says it is ready for commercial or non-commercial use. It was published on October 5, 2026. Its card reports 63.79 on IFBench against 42.84 for Gemma 4 E4B-it, and 68.51 on BFCL-v3. Thinking can be switched on or off in the chat template, and vLLM is the documented serving path.

NVIDIA Nemotron Labs Dory1.0 4B BF16
NVIDIA · 4.0B · runs from 5.7 GB at Q4
NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-Dory1.0-4B-BF16 is a 4 billion parameter looped model from NVIDIA Labs, built for general-purpose reasoning on a small footprint. It applies a shared block of layers repeatedly, so one checkpoint can trade inference compute for accuracy by changing the loop count, and it mixes sliding-window and full-attention layers. NVIDIA recommends two loops as the default. A Q4 build needs roughly 2.5 GB of memory, so it fits almost any GPU and many CPU-only machines. The context window is up to 256K tokens, and the model supports English. It is released under the OpenMDW-1.1 license and was published on October 16, 2026. Its card says last-loop KV caching avoids extra cache memory as loops are added, and that it was pre-trained natively in NVFP4 before continuing in BF16. It also lists BF16, MXFP8, NVFP4, and Q5_K_M formats. vLLM support is still in a pull request, and llama.cpp support requires building from a Dory-enabled source tree.

For users looking to run a Japanese-language assistant locally, this model offers a rare combination of compact size and dedicated language optimization from a major hardware vendor. It handles Japanese text with the fluency you'd expect from a purpose-built model rather than a multilingual afterthought.
Cosmos Reason2 2B
NVIDIA · 2.4B · runs from 3.5 GB at Q4
Cosmos Reason2 2B is NVIDIA's 2.4-billion-parameter open reasoning vision-language model for physical AI, built on the Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct backbone and designed to let robots and embodied agents perceive a scene and reason step by step about space, time, and physical common sense before acting. It generates long chains of thought and can output structured spatial data such as 2D/3D point localization, bounding boxes, and trajectories, plus OCR reading of scene text, going beyond a general chat assistant into physical-world planning. At just 2.4 billion parameters it is small enough to run on a single consumer GPU. Context length is 256,000 tokens, up sharply from the 16,000 tokens of the original Cosmos Reason1. It is released under the NVIDIA Open Model License, a custom license permitting commercial use and redistribution provided derivatives carry a "Built on NVIDIA Cosmos" attribution notice. It was published in December 2025, alongside a larger 8B sibling.
Cosmos Reason2 8B
NVIDIA · 8.8B · runs from 8.4 GB at Q4
Cosmos Reason2-8B is NVIDIA's 8.8-billion-parameter open reasoning vision-language model for physical AI, built on a Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct backbone and tuned to reason step by step about video and images the way a human would when planning actions in the real world. Rather than just labeling objects, it applies physics, spatio-temporal understanding, and common sense to tasks like robot planning, autonomous-vehicle video captioning, and video-analytics annotation, producing structured outputs such as 2D/3D point localization, bounding boxes, trajectory coordinates, and on-screen OCR text. It ships alongside a smaller 2B variant for edge deployment, while the 8B model needs a capable single GPU or more, less once quantized. Context length is roughly 256,000 tokens, up sharply from 16,000 tokens in the original Cosmos Reason 1. It is released under the NVIDIA Open Model License, a custom license that permits commercial use and derivative models but requires attribution ("Built on NVIDIA Cosmos") and prohibits removing its safety guardrails. It was published in December 2025.

LocateAnything 3B
NVIDIA · 3.8B · runs from 3.2 GB at Q4
LocateAnything-3B is NVIDIA's 3.8-billion-parameter vision-language model for visual grounding rather than open-ended chat: referring-expression grounding, dense multi-object detection, GUI element grounding, point-based localization, and document or OCR layout grounding. Its core contribution is Parallel Box Decoding, which predicts a complete bounding box in one parallel step instead of token-by-token autoregressive decoding, giving up to 2.5x higher throughput while preserving geometric consistency. It combines a Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct language backbone with a MoonViT-SO-400M vision encoder and was trained on 12 million images with over 138 million grounding queries; NVIDIA has folded it into the Nemotron 3 Nano Omni model for agentic and computer-use grounding. At under 4 billion parameters, it runs on a single consumer GPU. Context length is 32,768 tokens. It is released under NVIDIA's non-commercial research license, permitting academic and non-profit use only; commercial use requires a separate license from NVIDIA. It was published in May 2026.

NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0
NVIDIA · 903M · runs from 2.0 GB at Q4
NVIDIA Nemotron Parse 2.0 is a sub-1-billion-parameter vision-encoder-decoder model purpose-built for document parsing rather than open-ended chat: given a page image, it outputs structured text with layout classes, bounding boxes, and reading order for elements like titles, paragraphs, tables, charts, and footnotes. It pairs a ViT-H vision encoder based on NVIDIA's C-RADIO with a 10-block mBART decoder, and over its predecessor v1.2 it adds roughly 20,000 new vocabulary tokens for more efficient multilingual (especially CJK and Indic-script) OCR, a dedicated chart class for chart-to-table parsing, and stronger table detection and text extraction. At under a billion parameters it runs on a single modest GPU. License is the OpenMDW License Agreement version 1.1, permitting both commercial and non-commercial use; the bundled tokenizer is separately licensed under CC-BY-4.0. It was published in August 2026.

NVIDIA · 8.7B · runs from 8.4 GB at Q4
NVIDIA has released Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano VL 8B, an 8-billion-parameter vision-language model focused on document intelligence. This system pairs a C-RADIOv2-H vision encoder with the Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct language model. Key use cases include image summarization, text-image analysis, optical character recognition, interactive question answering, and text chain-of-thought reasoning. The model supports single-image inference in English only; according to the card, a 4-bit AWQ build can run on Jetson Orin devices or laptops. At this size, it fits onto a single consumer GPU once quantization is applied. The specifications call for an input plus output budget of 16K tokens. Use follows the NVIDIA Open Model License, with the Llama 3.1 Community Model License also in effect; additionally, the card requires a "Built with Llama" notice. It was published in June 2025. NVIDIA's documentation points to Nemotron Nano v2 12B VL as the newer alternative.

Understanding LLM VRAM Requirements
How much VRAM you need depends on the model size and quantization level. Quantization reduces the precision of model weights, trading small quality losses for significantly lower VRAM usage. For example, a 7B parameter model needs ~14 GB at FP16 but only ~4 GB at Q4_K_M quantization.
