Nvidia launches new open models to run agents in the enterprise and on PCs 

Nvidia on Thursday launched new open-weight models designed for always-on agents and edge computing. The Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is a large, 120-billion-parameter model geared for agents used by the enterprise. While it uses fewer parameters than the Nemotron 3 Ultra model, Nvidia says it can deliver similar accuracy in instruction-following and tool-use tasks. At the other end of the spectrum, the company also launched two lightweight Bolt models.

These are intended to run locally on the new AI PCs (running the Nvidia RTX Spark chip) and workstations running the DGX Spark. Such PCs, aimed at consumers, programmers and enterprise knowledge workers, are being released right now into the market through partners like Microsoft and Dell. “Any organization that wants to run agents on Nvidia infrastructure now has an open, optimized model for their tier without having to choose between capability and deployability,” Nvidia’s vice president of Open Models and Software, Kari Briski, wrote in the blog post announcing these models.

Nvidia claims that the Super VL completes tasks faster than competing models from Anthropic and OpenAI (Opus 5, GPT…
