The 8B checkpoint ranks #1 on the RTEB benchmark with a 78.46 average NDCG@10, while the 1B and NVFP4 variants achieve high efficiency with minimal accuracy loss. The models support 32,768-token inputs under the OpenMDW-1.1 license.", "body_md": "NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Embed on July 15 and 16, 2026. The collection has three open checkpoints: Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16, Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-BF16, and Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-NVFP4. The 8B ranks #1 on RTEB at 78.46 average NDCG@10. The 1B came from ModelOpt NAS pruning plus COS+MSE distillation from the 8B teacher. NVFP4 retains 99%+ of BF16 retrieval accuracy at up to 2x Blackwell throughput. All three run 32,768-token inputs under OpenMDW-1.1.\n\nThe post [NVIDIA AI Releases Nemotron 3 Embed: An Open Embedding Collection Whose 8B Checkpoint Ranks #1 on RTEB](https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/07/17/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-checkpoint-ranks-1-on-rteb/) appeared first on [MarkTechPost](https://www.marktechpost.com).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-ranks", "canonical_source": "https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/07/17/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-checkpoint-ranks-1-on-rteb/", "published_at": "2026-07-17 07:53:02+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-17 08:04:58.922169+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-research", "natural-language-processing"], "entities": ["NVIDIA", "Nemotron 3 Embed", "RTEB", "ModelOpt", "Blackwell", "OpenMDW"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-ranks", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-ranks.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-ranks.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ai-releases-nemotron-3-embed-an-open-embedding-collection-whose-8b-ranks.jsonld"}}
