# Nvidia targets trillion-parameter scale with next Nemotron model

*2026-08-12 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/nvidias-nemotron-4-aims-for-one-trillion-parameters-a-scale-chinese-labs-already-surpassed/)*

Nvidia is developing Nemotron 4, a new open-weight model reportedly aiming for roughly one trillion parameters. The scale would put it in the same range as some large models already released by Chinese labs.

**Why it matters:** It shows Nvidia doubling down on open-weight models as a strategic asset, not just chips, in the race against increasingly capable open Chinese models like DeepSeek's V4 Pro. A trillion-parameter open release from Nvidia would also raise pressure on Meta, Mistral, and other open-weight providers to keep scaling.

**Topics:** llms, open source, chips
