It also signed an open letter with tech heavyweights such as Microsoft backing open-weight models so that innovation does not drift overseas.\n\nSeparately on Tuesday, the chip firm unveiled Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, an addition to its offerings aimed at code review, tool use, security alert monitoring, answering billing questions and other tasks.\n\nIt also released NeMo Switchyard, an open-source model-routing library designed to automatically direct AI tasks to the most suitable models.\n\nLate last year, the chip giant unveiled the third generation of its family of open-source models as offerings from Chinese AI labs proliferated.\n\n(Reporting by Anhata Rooprai in Bengaluru; Editing by Pooja Desai)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-is-developing-nemotron-4-open-source-models-the-information-reports", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-developing-nemotron-4-open-143132910.html", "published_at": "2026-08-11 14:31:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-11 15:08:30.127350+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Nemotron 4", "The Information", "Anthropic", "OpenAI", "Microsoft", "Nemotron 3.5 Lightning", "NeMo Switchyard"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-is-developing-nemotron-4-open-source-models-the-information-reports", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-is-developing-nemotron-4-open-source-models-the-information-reports.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-is-developing-nemotron-4-open-source-models-the-information-reports.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-is-developing-nemotron-4-open-source-models-the-information-reports.jsonld"}}
