"Nvidia is taking open model development much more seriously. And we are making a lot of progress. It's in our interest to help the ecosystem develop," said Bryan Catanzaro, VP of applied deep learning research, according to the report.&nbsp;The AI chip giant began developing its own large language models (LLMs) – the Nemotron series – in 2023, as part of its push to build a full enterprise AI stack around its GPUs. The models, released with open weights or permissive licenses for research and enterprise use, are designed to help enterprises build, customize, and deploy AI applications on Nvidia hardware and cloud platforms.&nbsp;Unlike consumer chatbots, Nvidia’s models are aimed at businesses, developers, and cloud providers, enabling companies to build applications for tasks such as customer service, coding, and data analysis, and to run them on Nvidia’s AI infrastructure.On Wednesday, Nvidia also released Nemotron 3 Super, its most capable open-weight AI model to date. The model size makes it roughly equivalent to the largest version of OpenAI’s GPT-OSS. Unlike the previous Nemotron models, which mainly served as training frameworks or research models, Nemotron-3 Super is positioned as a production-ready model optimized for enterprise deployment.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Nvidia Fans, Investors Gear Up For AI Conference</h2>The development comes ahead of Nvidia’s&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/">GTC conference</a>, kicking off in San Jose next Monday.
