NVIDIA Research is the research arm of NVIDIA Corporation, the Santa Clara-based computing company founded in 1993; the research team itself was founded in 2006 by chief scientist David Kirk and now spans more than 200 scientists working on AI, graphics, high-performance computing and autonomous vehicles. Its Nemotron line of open models restarted its numbering in 2025: Nemotron-4 (2024) was followed by Nemotron Nano 2 (2025) and then the Nemotron 3 family of Nano, Super and Ultra models, all released with open weights.
