Nvidia targets trillion-parameter scale with next Nemotron model

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.
