Nvidia releases new open-source AI model, claiming it is "faster, cheaper, and smarter"

Jinse Finance 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 mainly known for providing chips, which are used by companies like OpenAI to train their closed-source models and profit from them. However, Nvidia also offers a large number of its own models, covering various fields from physical simulation to autonomous vehicles. These models are provided as open-source software for researchers or other companies to use. For example, companies such as Palantir Technologies have already integrated Nvidia's models into their products. On Monday, Nvidia announced the third generation of its "Nemotron" large language model, mainly aimed at tasks such as writing and programming. The smallest model, Nemotron 3 Nano, was released on the same day, while the other two larger versions will be launched in the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, there are reports that Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering shifting to closed-source models, making Nvidia one of the leading open-source model providers in the United States.
